Structure of Life

The structure of life seems to push us along the path


Days that start and end



Weeks that begin without notice



Months that fly through time



And years that seem to come and go without end






Milestones we mark and move through as highlights in time



Birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, dot the calendar



Seem to come and go without notice as the pass through the day



Days start the same way and end with an abruptness



Waking, eating, sitting and waiting





Weeks are numbered and days all numbered the same


Months and years follow all the same



Moving only days on the calendar




Yet life is always so different


No day is ever the same



Time passes and we may repeat ourselves



Yet it is never exact



Birthdays change, as do people




Even though the sun comes up every day


It moves across the sky as it awakes



The moon and stars circle the sky



Showing the movement in time






Likewise we to move through cycles



Showing our lives and emotions



Teaching others about ourselves


And learning from the things we do
