Life And Maybe Death

Before there was a crystal there was a rock
Before there was a bird there was a lizard
Before there was a flower there was a plant
Things are always in change
Nature is always driving us into beauty
But there is also the oblivion
Things also fall apart

Love lifts our hearts in the beginning
It dashes us on the rocks in the end

Waves drag us out to sea in the conclusion
The battering can kill us
Some of us can't adjudicate this conflict
And we drown
Yet some of us adapt and we evolve

Whether to join the beauty or to decline it
Is the question
Is the evolution palatable or distasteful
Is the conundrum
Is the joy of love worth the hours of pain
In the awakening
Is it better to decline the embrace
