The cycle of life

N2 O2 H2O CO2
Chemical symbols
The building blocks
of life

Light
is the catalyst
for drawing them
out of air and soil

We see green
leaves
the factories
for conversion

Gases
turned
into trees
making food

Nuts eaten
turned into
squirrels eaten
turned into foxes

The leaves fallen
The tree dies
Falls
Dead

A bright fungus
turns the wood
back into soil
and gases

The cycle of life
There is no death
What looks dead
will turn back into life
