All my memories
kept in the barn
of life
swept
away.
And the prairie is
clean for another
phase to begin
as life renews.
Like the wheat in spring
it always
comes back
ready for the
harvest.
Author notes
Just a deep feeling that I have today about the cycle of life.

This is a good reminder. Not sure I ever thought about the mowing in this way, making room for the new hay - we are reading the Little House books at the moment, though, so this resonates.

Lovely piece, philosophically spoken, expressing with simple truth the progression of life and the memories it gave and still gives you, swept into your barn.
Congratulations on the silver.

EXCELLENT
NO matter what disasters hit us, life does run in cycles, and countries, cities, towns, lives, torn apart by natural disasters, always rebuild. Where there is life, there is hope. Your metaphors capture the essence of rebirth. Best wishes. Beautiful poem.
