Every new day, the sun will rise.
As time passes, the moon expands.
Reasons to act without surprise.

Every day, the wind brings new ambition.
The river flows into the shoreline.
Every day holds a new lesson.

Every day, a new baby is born.
After nine months of pregnancy.
God promises and bestows adorned.

Stars will illuminate our nights.
Large ships navigate in deeper water.
Abetted by vast cosmic sights 

Plants will surely grow.
It's an unavoidable indication!
Obvious, as we all know.

Without a problem, there is no solution.
We prefer to go right to specifics.
Valuables are found in the deep section.

Outcomes are entirely arbitrary.
How deeply one will be involved.
Outside the scope of the fantasy.

Forecast what people say, I believe.
Vague terms are complex to discern.
Events were hardly what we perceive.

A brilliant poem Lasaad, so many truisms in every stanza, outcomes are entirely arbitrary, wow, this goes right down to the quantum level, where particles will only decide what state to take, by being observed, this poem is a stroke of genius, with a mind bending photograph to accompany, A fave from me, cheers David

Hi Lasaad, You’ve penned a good entry for the contest theme. Each stanza is a stand alone verse. However, I liked stanza three “Everyday, a baby is born, After nine months of pregnancy, God promises and bestow.”a tad bit more than the others. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful day. Soup mail:-) Alexis
