Colan Hiatt Poet Rhyme

Cycles of Life

The refrain of the little birds
Breaks silence of the night
Hours of bleakness is dispelled
As on the horizon, the sun gives light

The vivid green, soon gives way
To a golden yellow leaf
Just another reminder of autumn
To hot summer days, it gives relief

The lonesome sound of the katydid
Ushers autumn to our door
Magnificent colors will appear
Painting beauty from mountain to shore

Cycles, -  appear in so many ways
Various similitudes they enumerate
The brevity of life is brought into view
As on this fact, we meditate

Mankind is but a vapor or a flower
God's Word gives this metaphor
We're here today and gone tomorrow
Death is a stalking predator

The picture is not one of gloom
To those who have heeded His call
A new beginning it affords
Eternity ends the cycle for us all

Gwen Benita Mason Gibbs August 30, 2015 at 7:38 PM Very nicely put together Colan Hiatt August 30, 2015 at 8:50 PM Thanks Gwen, for responding. Because of your comment, I have been checking your material. "My Story," is special and "Do You Remember" reminds me of one I have posted on the site, titled "The Good Bad Times." (I look forward to reading more of your writings.)
