At The Same Time

A Poem

Photo by Joakim Honkasalo on Unsplash

A piece of bark
A leaf
Isn’t it funny how life seems
To be simple, yet profound
At the same time

A singing lark
Complete
In its song, like the rings
Of a tree trunk
Fresh, yet worn
At the same time

The old becomes new
What our forefathers knew
Forgotten, yet remembered
At the same time

Taking us back
Moving us forwards
Life spins round in circles
What comes up
Must come down
At the same time

Now as before
All of us are
Breathing in
Breathing out
Like the waves of the sea
Salty, yet sweet
At the same time
