The cycle continues from day to night,
from sun to moonbeams, from darkness to light.
Across the ages, it’s ever the same;
for all our adventures, it serves as a frame.
Another rotation while here on earth —
from joy to sorrow, from sadness to mirth —
will be encountered again and again,
inconstant in form as to how, where, and when.
The sequences found in a mortal life —
from hate to love, from accordance to strife,
from lack to plenty, from health to disease —
affect every human to different degrees.
And variability of response
can span from panic to mere nonchalance.
It all depends on perspective and aim;
the outcome is hinged on how YOU play the game!
In navigating both darkness and light,
it’s wise to remember: From stillness springs might.
