Nature's Law

The seed of death 

is planted at birth

a law of nature

that cannot be disobeyed 


Even inanimate objects 

will one day 

dissolve


Time is the catalyst 

allowing death to take shape

as wear and tear 

weaken the living bodies


And the burning stars

eventually 

consume themselves 


Yet death shifts the vista 

new entities emerge

and the universe evolves
