A flower blooms;
A leaf falls;

An old man dies;
A child learns to crawl;

Rains wet the earth;
Desert wind blows;

The sun sets on a lake;
Firefly-butt glows;

A mother gives birth;
A war rages on;

A baby learns to breastfeed;
Another lies still-born;

A wave rises on the ocean;
A pyre burns out;

A “couple” fall in love;
while a couple of them fall out.

Somewhere,
in time.
