Examining the orange tree
Blossoming with springtime buds
Too many for me to count
Which will bloom and which are out?

Some blossoms abort and drop to the soil
Others bloom into full fruits
Some might germinate and take root
Most will be a bowl of oranges

I don't know what happens when failed buds fall
Do they simply decompose and enrich the earth?
Does their consciousness return to God's great hall?
Or through infinite cycles of rebirth?

The trees and plants are greening
Another season of reincarnation
Birds are chirping and eating their seeds
The old fat cat is on a permanent vacation
