Analysis of Seven Cycles
Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)
Contentment in heart,
Joy, love, peace in every step,
The good life blooms bright.
Rushing through the day,
Fast life whizzes by in a blur,
Breathe in, slow it down.
Endless paths ahead,
Wandering, wondering mind,
Journey of the soul.
Truth hiding in shade,
Shrouded by deceit and lies,
Sunlight reveals all.
Seeds in the soil wait,
A plan for growth unfolds now,
Green sprouts rise with care.
Endlessly trying,
Infinite possibilities-
Do, or do not, do.
Wisdom of the sage,
Giving back life with vigor,
Elder guides us home.
