Cycles

© T. B. Jackson

Life and nature sing their songs

Their stories somehow intertwine

A cryptic mix of where we are

A glimpse inside our deep desires

A month ago I hid from sun

Now I seek it's warmth each day

A week ago I yearned for you

Now I avoid you like the plague

It's not that I no longer care

Nor that I have no love for you

But like a season on the change

One ends, another starts a-new

And this is life, it just goes on

As summer turns to autumn gold

And when new growth begins to sprout

I'll seek another's heart to hold

And though we may no longer be

As sunshine in the early morn

What we've had and where we've been

Will guide us through the winter long

As Mother Nature's cycle turns

When spring arrives I'm sure you'll see

When the beauty of the world is born

There'll be a time for you and me
