Every life has a cycle
With phases of ups and downs
Yet we often ignore the bright ones
Choosing to focus only on our frowns
Every life swings like a pendulum
From crazy fast to painful slow
A rhythm of Inconsistency
Busy, dizzying to-s and fro-s
Often it feels uncontrollable
How this motion affects your life
Rocking your foundations
Unsettling emotions a rife
Resistance Increases pressure
And the oscillation of the swing
But if we release the tension
A smoother movement begins
But there is also that momentum
That gives life a certain beat
The music, the rhythm
That makes you want to move your feet
Be it the waltz, ballet or tango
Or a passionate salsa that sways your hips
How you live that rhythm
Is through your mind and also through your lips
When I look at the pendulum
I lose myself in thoughts
Of how beats are ticks of gratitude
Staccatos of life’s positive lots
This helps release my inner tension
Guides my heart into a gentler pulse
Just to close my eyes and listen
And let patience, peace, positivity espouse
