Life Cycles |
| One moment’s pause |
| One moments retreat |
| Away from the heat … |
| The silent surroundings |
| The black of the predawn sky |
| The chilled air of night |
| All give meaning to the sunrise |
| Without darkness |
| What would we know of light? |
| Day turns to night turns to day |
| A cycle that rules our lives |
| The darkness of night seems distant |
| When the daylight arrives |
| Two steps forward, one step back |
| It’s an unbeaten path we tread |
| Sometimes we get blown off track |
| Sometimes we get blown ahead |
| Life’s declines precede life’s highs |
| Like the lines on a biorhythmic chart |
| Between the lows the beauty lies |
| Don’t take your failure to heart |
| We may be dealt some cruel blows |
| By fate’s implacable hands |
| Changing the future — changing our goals |
| Laying waste to all of our plans |
| No promises, no guarantees |
| Of a rose-colored existence |
| Progress comes slowly — always met with |
| A measure of ruthless Resistance |
| Whether it’s the pleasure of success |
| Or the pain of rejection |
| Life doesn’t travel just one way |
| In either direction |
| Bitter cold December |
| Spirits — and time — seem as frozen |
| As the icy ground |
| But time will soon fall |
| And march inevitably ahead |
| The world keeps spinning … |
| Season come, seasons go |
| As we helplessly watch them fly by |
| But life has cycles we can Control |
| In our own hands our destinies lie |
