Cycle

By Withering petals

Here I lay
Wide open
And awaken
By the ground shaking
News
Of another ending
In the beginning
Of my blissful
Mourning
Of another day
Laid to waste
In the night of emptiness.

Your imagination adding new realms of adventure with each cycle and pause. A cycle or endless canon or both depending on your perspective, the music your mind feels in the background make it all wondrous.

    Short and sweet. It reminds me of addiction. I'm an alcoholic in recovery. I'd swear the next day it would be better. Then I'd get up and pop open that first beer and lose another day. It just went on and on and on. Nice write. JD
