The following poem intends to celebrate the turning of life from the dark sides...
What was lost will come back
What was left behind will cope up;
What was moving backwards
Will meet us round the other end---
Just like in a loop, for we are in a loop.
At the end of one's term
another will break from the rich soil ---
Strive, compete, persist.
After all, life's all about taking time and giving way ---
Like winter succumbing, surrendering ---
To the waking of spring.
And we'll be the new leaves, sprouting.
Coldness,
the fierce, nonchalant, numb breath of winter ---
The flashback of our falling.
And then springtime comes,
The exultant sun spreading its shine,
limitless;
Clearing the clouds from its way,
Inviting new walks, new flights, new hopes---
We are the birds, singing.

I am currently writing another poem, as today I cast my eyes into something that my eyes were able to see the meaning deep inside...hopefully I can finish it before Wednesday.
Again, thank you!
