circle of life


a cloud in the sky reminds me of 
a swirling galaxy of stars

the swirling galaxy liken to
the whirlpool caught between the rocks 
at oceanside

the whirlpool is reminiscent of the ripples 
atop a pond

the ripples on the pond mimic
the perfection of the spider’s web hung 
gracefully against a tree

the spider’s web matches the rings in the tree
the rings in the tree are like a fingerprint

and the fingerprint is unique like 
the circle of life.
