Without Pause

It takes the clouds

To remind the sun just how bright

It can shine for us

And when the rain falls, it's

Only to remind the dawn

That blue skies are masterpieces

Too

Without the gray,

Colors wouldn't exist

Without the dark there could be

No light to beckon us free

Tunnels only get to end

When they have a beginning

Too

Gravity why must you

Bring me down, balance me out

Symmetry that I'd rather do

Without, forgetting the rules

Pairs can't be made of ones

Every partner has another

Too

On a journey, no one remembers

The flatlands, smooth roads

Hills beckon us, calling boldly

Begging us to find their peaks

As the valleys whisper softly

A siren's call to find their depths

Too.

Superlatives describe the years

Hundreds redone to showcase

Only the extreme, the audacity m

Of those who never find peace

Never spotlight those quiet

Lullabies, they slip on by

Too

Oh story why must you

Turn the pages, bind the covers

A sentence can only begin

When the last one ends

No middle can exist

Without a beginning and end

Too

Life only matters because it

Ends, and immortal would

Be less than nothing, time

Meaningless when infinite

For life to be worth living

Deaths must play its role

Too

No ifs, ands, or buts

Conjunctions are warnings

Continuing after the end, a

Dangerous game, taunting,

Promising the possibility of

Everlasting middles, they'll finish

Too

At least at the finish

One constant must be true

After this last ending,

There will be a new beginning

Too.
