The Earthen Tomb

Out of the womb

Forth into the light
Quickly one grows
Wide opened eyes

The journey is fast
Knowledge increases
The years race past
Simplicity ceases

The uphill climb

Rising after a fall
Becoming more wise
Making sense of it all

Cultivating truth

Through every season
Bearing much fruit
Wisdom and reason

Dying to oneself

Peace restored anew
Roll the stone away
Flee the earthen tomb
