October leaves of brown and reds and yellow
shows the cycle of death to be mellow
and out of death does live in the girth
the secret and right to the rebirth
to wander green fields again
and smell the dark damp musk of autumn
those familar sights and sounds
that echo in the fairground of life
where at the start time seems profound
and mirrors in the appearance of the round
and the zimmers of light and the death again of strife
into the cycle again
in the pouring rain
a babys cry will be in vain for it all seems the same
a vehicle of the shame of the sin
an avastic example and within
the power of the light which is shaded by the shroud of flesh
a genetic entanglement with the purity of the mesh
and makes man refresh and refresh

The insight in your first two lines is priceless.
