The sun arises, as the moon kisses the stars goodbye, and this life starts yet again

 

the trees come alive as if their branches weren’t torn apart

 

 the dew awakens from the ground, the Earth is now alive

 

 the birds sing their hymn and the sky is a mixture of orange, and pink soaking in the air above

 

 the lions on the south, bears on the east, wolfs on the north and birds of the west are now united, the earth is once again alive

 

 The sun rises more, spreading across all the bodies of water that lay still, untouched

 

 the water reflects off of itself, glimmering in an unspoken beauty

 

 as the whiff of life enters the pores of the trees

 

 the leaves so very still, no wind to move them into a dance just yet

 

 in the distance there is a voice of pain, so strong that the sun receives a bloody color

 

 the sun finally appears and embraces God’s art, and hint of life wakes up, to another 24 hours

 

 another 24 hours to just be

 

 in those 24 hours, humans will be birthed from the womb, taking in the first cry of life

 

 while some slowly break down, falling into a sleep that is known as forever

 

 they rot in the depth of the black cold ground and high above them tiny bodies rises up to the sky

 

 and it is called a Heaven some say

 

 or an afterlife that is a new life to begin again

 

 some say it’s just a blackness, going to deeper and deeper into an abyss of even more black

 

 wherever one goes after time on Earth has expired

they must go somewhere

 

 because this world isn’t full of just nothing

 

 it’s something that cannot be pinpointed and metaphors will be given back and forth, yet no one will ever know

 

 enlightenment may be on the other side, but it is also on the side of life
