Cycles Poem by soren Barrett

Crawling before walking through this garden of life
I learned to run and jump with joy
Spring's sunshine blossoms overcoming strife
Each day unwrapping a new toy

In summer's glow fruit did grow
Love's sap filled my limbs
My seeds falling to the ground below
sprouting new life where hope begins

In fall winds I stumbled and fell
storms my branches broke
Approaching dark skies tell
of future's approaching icy stroke

With snows, bowed unable to stand,
bent again I crawl on knees and hand,
laying prostrate on barren land,
awaiting spring's coming demand
