Day turns into night, months into years, minutes into hours as our lives pass us by like the hands on a clock that goes around and around. The rise and fall of the sun that warms us has taken a vacation. Rain falls as the cold wind blows that fills the air with fog and gloom that keeps us from enjoying the outside.

The rise and fall of the sun that rises in the East and sets in the West gives us light but no heat, so we stay in where it is warm,…where heat surrounds us from the vents as it blows out. Under the covers we snuggle to get comfortable, to watch our favorite movies, and sip on that special something that makes us warm inside.

The rise and fall of our emotions spins us around on a rollecoaster up and down as we are in tears that are streaming down our face, down the heart of our soul swells our eyes as they turn red from the tears we cry.

The rise and fall of life as we once knew it is totally gone away. What must we do….what must we say to feel some kind of normal everyday? Do we ponder how life once was? Do we throw it away?

Do we hold on to yesterday? Do we say farewell to what was and embrace what is new? The rise and fall of life itself is a merry-go-round of all flavors and colors to behold, but in the end of it all, what is left? Only memories to share; the rise and fall of them all that holds the key to our heart that only unlocks it when we want it to.

To bring out the silent memories that we want to share, and to hold back those we dont. Screaming on the inside but no one hears. Laughing and smiling to cover up how we really feel, even if sometimes we wear our heart on our sleeve.

There is a rise and fall to everything we experience in life, we just have to know how to process and handle it. ©2021
