Inevitable.


As the sun sinks,

Comes the moon rising.

Sunset.

 

As day ends,

Comes the night crawling out.

Nightfall.

 

As the children sleep,

Come the mice to whisper.

Bedtime.

 

As the clocks tick,

Comes the passing of seconds.

Time.

 

As the bridge weakens,

Comes cement to strengthen.

Repair.

 

As the heart aches,

Comes love to cure it.

Medicine.

 

As the death passes,

Comes a life to replace it.

Revival.

 

As a pre-determined cycle,

Comes every moment.

Rhythmic.

 

As it goes,

Comes another.

Inevitable.
