Cycles of Existence
Beneath moonlit skies,
A newborn's cry breaks the night,
Life's first breath in awe.
Years swiftly pass by,
Youth's fleeting flame burns brightly,
Adventure beckons.
Midnight's stars now fade,
Wisdom etched on aging skin,
Time's gift, bittersweet.
Autumn leaves descend,
Cycles turn, life finds its end,
Peace in twilight's embrace.
From ashes to stars,
In the cosmic dance we roam,
Eternal journey.
