Life is but a cycle
\nWithin which we spin and spin
\nAn unknown end point<\/p>\n

And around others
\nSpinning in Lifes Ether
\nCounterspin our turns.<\/p>\n

Until near the end
\nWaterfall of destiny
\nShows us up from down<\/p>\n

Conscious, we all then
\nUnderstand, achieve balance
\nAccepts our life\u2019s trials.<\/p>\n

And we place our feet
\nOn the waves of old age
\nNever more to turn.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
