Life's Cycle
Time passes as I look out my window.
 The condensation begins to form with every breath I breathe.
 The blue bird happily sings his song.
 Grey clouds appear from the east.
 
 Children splashing in the puddles nearby,
 I can hear their mothers calling them in now.
 Looks like a storm is headed this way,
 The happy blue bird has now flown away.
 
 Thunder rumbling in the distance
 Sounds like it’s getting closer
 Lightning flashes; lights up my whole face
 Can’t see two feet in front of me
 
 From sunny and bright 
 To dark and damp
 The day has turned so fast
 But just like everything else, this too will soon pass.
 
 Two more loud bangs
 And a few more flashes of light
 Now look there’s a rainbow
 So beautiful, so full of life
 
 What was once grey is now no longer
 The laughter of the children is back
 Jumping in puddles once again; louder and stronger
 The happy blue bird has returned.
 
 The bees are buzzing
 The smell of flowers has drawn them in.
 The sun is going down now
 The day has come to an end.
 
 The moon appears, so big, full, and white.
 Stars are forming shapes in the distance.
 I’ll go to sleep now.
 When I awake, who knows what tomorrow will bring,
 But I’ll get through it.
