Round & Round

A selection of poetry about life

Days

Days flow by
like water in a palm
slipping through fingers

Drip drip.

Drip drip

Gone

Round & Round

Round and round
Our lives go
Like a circular dance.
Love and hate
And love again
Dance the eternal dance.

Up and down
Our lives go
Like the mountains above.
Life and death
And life again
Use the path of chance.

Life

Eyes open.
New world
To explore,
To learn,
And grow.
New things everyday.

You will laugh,
And you will scream,
But don't forget
To dream
And see them
Come true-
Or not
Either way it's fine.

Make friends.
Fall in love.
Say goodbye
To the old
And welcome
The new.

Grow older,
Slow down
You don't want to,
But you're too
Full
With memories
Of a life
Rich in love

Close your eyes,
Smile,
And pause to
Let go of the past.
Then
One more leap of faith;
Cause a new adventure
Is around the bend.
