Carousel Of Life

On hot summer days, I sit and fret

About the full furnace of the hour

That scorches my brow and cooks my head

But then it passes, and the rain comes flooding in

During the monsoon days when it pours and pours

I lie down cursing the incessant torrents

Drenching my clothes and soaking my bones

But then the rain stops and the winter comes breezing in

When the nippy winds blow, clouded with snow

I shiver and quiver blaming the bitter cold

That bites into my flesh chilling me to the bone

But then winter melts away as the summer comes sweltering in

Time flies by and year on year, from season to season

The carousel of life circles round and round

Where change is the constant and nothing is forever

Everything about life is just fine till death comes nipping it in.
