From new beginnings
We flow on the path of change
Work and family
Promotions, marriage, children
But in the endings
Great transformation is found
Death of a loved one
A path’s literal dead end
Painful suffering
Meaningless and meaningful
Brings about new beginnings

Jennifer, being a firm believer in the cyclicity of things, your poem resonated with me.
