A Cacophonous Symphony



A groan of pain, a sigh of relief; the reality of life, a grumpy screaming infant gazes
 A bittersweet experience; a construct of familiar yet unknown phases
A repeated cycle of opposites; glee and gloom, in equal measure
A stark truth of battle, pain, and trouble mixed with a little twinkle and pleasure

Trudging through a squeaky echo of aching joys and soothing sorrows
Dreamers whirl in confusion, trying to unravel the maze in this chaos
Nothing seems as it looks; comfort is an illusion, beauty a silhouette
The spectral colors of the rainbow glow, but hope lies in the beauty of the sunset

 Between the unsightly slithering slippery slimy snake And the beautiful busy bloomy buzzing bee
An equivalent dose of malicious venom is certain
 Life is unpredictable, but till your time is due, do not draw the curtain

 Brazen it out, set it to an upbeat allegro
Immerse yourself in the rhythmic cadence of its symphonic flow
A little high, a little low; keep moving, your sparkle to sprinkle
When the deafening bells of the last train are nigh, you will sure radiate in your wrinkle
