Even in chaos nature finds balance.
Violent floods beget fertile fields.
One thing ends, another begins.
Life is a cycle of birth and death.
Untamed wildfire creates forest ash.
The ashen remains nurture growth again.
In the caterpillar lives the butterfly.
One thing ends, another begins.
Now and forever, the mandella spins.

What goes around…
I can neither play an instrument nor sing – always envied those who could; espicially those who wrote and played their own.
That’s a very tidy acrostic you’ve got there! Nice work 🙂
The wheel stops for no man.
They’re still backstage trying to sober Dwayne up 😉
Do love the process of Evolution as you describe it. Marvelous. Each thing in its season.
Nice acrostic. It doesn’t seem forced, as some acrostics are, and I like how you’ve sustained the subject matter.
Great acrostic. I didn’t ‘get’ the Tanka – garage is not my scene.
Yo’ ViV –
The Ludlow Garage scene was one hip happenin’. This is where the sound system from Woodstock took up residence, and where my band, Stone Fox, was the opening act for groups like the Allman Brothers. Their lead guitar player Duane Allman, was incredible — and a notorious flake. Duane, not Eric Clapton, did the glorious ascending guitar licks on the Derek and the Dominos great song, Layla. He died tragically crashing a motorcycle under the influence — of something?
Now you ‘got’ it Viv… 😉
