The poem that inspired the piece:

Resurrection & Revival
Falling for you, like I fall for the flowers.
Every phase more exquisite than the last; yet they each must come to an end.
Do we mourn the darkness of what we don't understand?
Or enjoy the rebirth and beauty ..
All which comes from death.
There is no better teacher of life than the seasons.

- Lindsay Brierly
