Cycles

  • A massive thermonuclear fusion reaction 
  • Unloading a consistent energy payload 
  • Bombarding those who revolve around 
  • The skeptics say it's bound to explode 
  • If this future were fulfilled would life continue?
  • Disregarding the thermo and gravitational chaos
  • Say for a moment that the earth survives 
  • Would losing the sun halt history's progress? 
  • Humanity may through some miracle learn to cope
  • But happiness would be lost along with the sun 
  • For most loom towards depression like a nimbus 
  • When black sky's beckon or rainfall has begun 
  • Eyes glimmer maliciously when darkness descends 
  • The mind swiftly wanders into a violent hypothetical 
  • Sponsored by inherent fear of the ominous unknown 
  • The mental curtain is far darker than natural nightfall 
  • But light shatters the shroud of pandora's possible 
  • Exposing the truth of the world with the gift of sight 
  • Revealing the incognito and purifying the actual 
  • Find comfort in the fact the night is not eternal
  • No matter how black your tribulations may be 
  • Just grasp tightly to the hope of a radiant dawn 
  • Hold out until daybreak, light will bring clarity 
  • The purger of darkness has more than one ability 
  • It also provides heat to the cold world we reside on
  • Introducing a continuous annual story line to life itself 
  • The monicker of seasons is given to this phenomenon 
  • Winter shows a bleak frozen tundra of a world 
  • Where people hide behind doors frozen shut
  • Wrapped in blankets, praying for a ray of sunlight 
  • While Bears hibernate,  whiskey helps us forget 
  • A highly anticipated spring provides rising action
  • Even the earth can't help but celebrate winter's end 
  • Plants bloom as the seal melts on the icy stronghold 
  • Exhibiting the power milky way's finest can lend 
  • The aforementioned story climaxes in summer 
  • Where the sun rules the sky with little resistance 
  • Begging to be basked in whenever time presents 
  • But willing to burn those guilty of overindulgence 
  • Autumn's leaves set the stage for the falling action
  • Providing flashes of beauty ending only in death
  • Nature's fireworks fall and fade to monochrome 
  • As the sun's annual dynasty takes one final breath  
  • The given plot repeats but with different motifs 
  • Slight changes in the synopsis alter the whole 
  • To prevent monotony in history's progression 
  • Perhaps now it is apparent our star's great role
  • It's absence provides visions  of a nightmare
  • A cold dark place suffocated by the unknown 
  • Drowning in fear with no sense of time's passage 
  • A sunless world would be a forlorn epitome
