Accepting the Attitudes of Life

Decay...

slow and warped,

yet a necessity of change.

At times,

the complete destruction is required,

and so on forth the fruit blossoms.

Why a fruit rather than a flower?

The flower is a beautiful thing but quite overrated,

the fruit on the other hand....

no-one wants something rotten.

Yet, there is no end to it,

even if the fruit itself can't be saved,

there are still seeds that can be planted in the earth.

Upon next harvest, 

the continuation of the fruit persists,

and in that sense the whole of the fruit exists.

It's a dreadful cycle,

life or death,

parent to child,

or simply a change of lovers.

There is always something lost in the creation of the other,

yet also another gained in the absence.

However, the value isn't determined by the lost or the gain,

but the change in you that could accept it.
