Curved: Around the Circle

Woke up
Got up,
Jumped right into
Activity,

Lots of flow
From one action
To another
With plenty of racket,

Then suddenly
All came to a halt,
Energy flagged
And the mood sagged,

Sadness arose,
Until caught sight of
A leafy tree,
Which cheered me.

Completely miraculous!
How changeable life is,
Is there any greater
Magic than this?

That from energy
Sprang activity,
Which begat flow,
Followed by fatigue,

Then out of this tiredness
Came stillness,
And afterwards there arose
Great sadness;

But looking out from melancholy
Lead to seeing,
Taking in the soft greenness,
Which triggered joy and sereneness,
This too so fleeting and so amazing!
