Today I did not follow a prompt. I just went with the flow of my heartbeat. Yesterday I just skimmed the prompt and this might have fit in there better. But I didn't get to write yesterday, life had other plans. Today I wrote about the cycles we find ourselves in and how they go around and around again.
Life Travels in Circles
Did you ever notice...
life travels in circles?
Circles of hope,
circles of grief
circles of cycles
That go round again
and again.
Did you ever notice...
seasons always change
and when they come around again,
nothing is quite the same?
In another season,
I buried my emotions deep,
but as the Springtime evolves
I find my thoughts
take root
shoot up,
find light,
reaching for the sun.
My thoughts once buried
are exposed again.
They are new
and green.
New shoots of thoughts
taking hold deep down,
yet showing off new growth
in sunlight's splendor.
Tender and delicate
they need tended,
pruned,
maintained.
They grow stronger in the sun
that they ever did in the grey.
Thankful for the rain
that feeds these little shoots
and causes them to stand strong,
because summer's on it's way.
Now established and strong,
my thoughts will have to stand
in times of drought and sun.
Sometimes wilting,
in the face
of summer's heated sorrow.
My life is like a garden,
renewing itself in Spring.
To face the heat,
the dying off,
the burial of wintertime.
The cycle goes around again.
I wonder if you noticed...
how life travels in circles?
