"Cycles of Life" a Poem by Dalton Johnson
CYCLES OF LIFE
People and wealth come and go, just as
the tide ebbs and flows.
Crashing into your arms new people Conjure a smile upon your face, but before you can relish in the moment, they
disappear.
Your savings account fills and
You’re on top of the world then catastrophe hits, the bills stack up, and
You go broke.
Your smile is gone, your coffers are dry, you think You’re alone and there is no hope, until
You relearn to love life and
Yourself.
Then, that grin will return, new relationships form, and Your savings account once more will fill.
Rinse and repeat, ebb and flow, love and indifference.
Again and again Again and again Again and again
Until,
You rest six feet under ground.
