Revolving

Is then all life an integral
continuum, an ongoing
evolution from life to death
and back again to life as
we reproduce ourselves
and each succeeding generation
takes up where their predecessors
were interrupted by the allotted
sands of time flushing through
that interminable hourglass of
opportunity in existence
toward its inexorable 
expiration date? Refreshing
and renewing the awaiting
life cycle ordained by Nature
that we undergo faithful to her 
carefully brilliant protocol...?
