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 |
