The Cycle Continues

The autumn tree
Waving hello
In the breeze

(rs)

Colors fall down
Like oversized confetti

(N.W.)

Piled up high
Crunches under weight
Little boy playing

 (bk)

Laughter floating
On the wind

(jc)

The air blows
In the darkness
Revealing the moon

(rs)

And its constant
Face and light, shining

(N.W.)

•

Now it's glimmering
A plain face
Silver and gold

(bk)

The ding of coins
Spilling onto cobblestone

(JC)

One man's spare change
Bringing life
To another man

(RS)

Change via change
More circles of life

(N.W.)

The cycle continues
Water flows
Then darkness erupts

(bk)

Two quarters
Shirts spin swiftly

(jc)

•

The shape
Of the machine
Like a moon

(RS)

On a clear,
Harvest night

(N.W.)

They stand tall
Moonlight beaming
A steady hum  

(bk)

Rumble and whirring
Smokestacks

(JC)

The air
Turning as black
As his soul

(RS)

He glides through the fog
In a landscape of tombstones

(N.W.)

•

Dark as the grave
He sits waiting
Wind screaming  

(bk)

Silhouette of a murderer
Blood on the mountain

(JC)

Portraits splashed
With the color of red
Revealing the crime

(RS)

Actions of generations past
Lingering on the present

(N.W.)

Fixing all mistakes
Like blood on the carpet
Impossible task  

(bk)

Washing away
Invisible pains of guilt

(JC)

•

My sins
Flowing down
The drains

(RS)

Like the alcohol
The night before

(N.W.)

No memory
A blurred past
A long recovery

(bk)

Memories of you
Wishing for amnesia

(JC)

The moon
Lighting up your face
In my mind

(RS)

The wind settles
A single strand on my face

(N.W.)

•

It's a reminder
Soft breeze
Stirs my memory  

(bk)

Hair flows like
Weed in deep sea

(JC)

His hands
Touching her face
So delicately

(RS)

Rough meets smooth
In the most timeless way

(N.W.)

Rippling like satin
An orchid sways
Vibrant

 (bk)

Revealing the beauty
Of which
It entails

(RS)
