everlasting.

 I am here but I am gone. 

A soul released while a body remains. 

Reclaimed.

Recycled.

Reincarnated.

I am both finite and infinite. 

A life taken as life is returned.

Into another.

Back the earth.

Across the universe.

I am nothing and I am everything,

all at once. 

The carrion bird in the sky.

The soil spread across the forest floor.

The network of mycelium that connects all things. 

I am nowhere and I am everywhere.

A formless existence.

Where I lie and by way of the great expanse. 

One body that becomes many.

Insect.

Animal.

Earth.

Air.

You see death and decomposition.

Such permanence.

But I am an ageless energy. 

Ephemeral. 

But ever returning.

To this life and the next.

I die to be reborn again,

as life and death are a spiral. 

Animal, mineral, vegetable,

human body, soul energy,

weaving through, within, and among, the magical circle of wild things. 

Imprinted.

Everlasting.
