One more oat grows

The cycles of natural life surround us and exist within ourselves, as we move with them every day. Each and every individual is indicative of the broader reality, like a single stalk telling the story of the entire field.
The individual’s eventual, inevitable decay summons the subsequently inevitable renewal of the masses. After a storm comes a calm, a moment of introspection and excitement that sparks the ensuing bloom. Reinvigoration. A climactic moment of realization and comprehension.
The cycle continues, albeit slightly different each time, keeping our eyes on the horizon, in hopes of spotting the rainbow.
