I.

Red clay beneath feet

White, soft sand between my toes

Life returns to earth.

II.

Rolling hills slope down.

Thunder crumbles the loose dirt-

Ground is not the end.

III.

Bugs crawl upon it.

Snails roll around upside down.

Stars dancing on soil.

IV.

Ant hills-burrows-sprouts

The signs of life now present.

Beautiful axis.

V.

Rotational spin

A part of the galaxy

Ashes to ashes.
