Lifelight
Sunrise; Your first light.
You scream. Your first words.
They feed and nurture you.
You listen and learn.
By noon you are writing-
Poems, about life and love.
You have lived and loved.
You relished the heat.
Savored the warmth and tenderness.
The evening brings clouds to the sky.
You have learned
that a storm will follow.
The sky is dark and foreboding.
At night, the storm is powerful.
Driving rain and thunder
beat against your window.
You quickly write a few words
about Life and Death.
You fade to black.

Darkness is welcome as is the storm. A lovely write with nature all around through the day and night. All part of a life. Loved it
Thank you, SB. The cycles of life from beginning to end.
You are most welcome. Indeed if there is an end in that it is circular
Tracing that lifeline in beautiful verse. Makes meditation flavoursome and interesting 🙏🏻🕊️

We go through life like this MF but we are still here and I don't intend to leave yet.
