Cycle of Life

Ever since I got chronically ill

My body will not obey my will

There is muscle fluttering here

Or a pain shooting there

An inability to move a joint

Or lying listless without a point

It is good when energy is high

Otherwise all I do is sigh

The spring has come with lots to do

Cleaning and clearing, yes lots to do

I can run about without thinking

The need for balance easily forgetting

Then hits the wave of tiredness

Dragging me down this wave of sadness

The mood does not lift easily

The sadness grows uneasily

I stop talking and laughing

I need to start talking and laughing

Easier said than done

When the darkness weighs a ton

Meeting with friends

Sharing with friends

Might let in a spark of light

Keeping that glow still alight

Life finds a way to emerge

With renewed hope and happy urge

All is well in the world again

Until the overdoing yet again
