It seems there are cycles to everyone’s life

It seems there are cycles to everyone’s life
Sometimes happy sometimes filled with strife
Always pushing or pulling within
Once to heavenliness then to sin
With each push and pull
Bringing one further, closer to full
So here you stand as this beloved creature
Studying every night as you follow the teacher
Listening with heart to the words of sages
Following with your eyes fixed neatly on the pages
As your heart starts to open and images come to mind
Showing one just what it takes to their friends to be kind
Joining with the millions that follow every night
Each one clinging to the other ever so tight
Keeping the intention and goal truly in sight
Leaving only fear of failing, oh what a fright
Then comes something like unity day
To remind us all in every single way
Just what it means to truly love a friend
As we all join hearts in that place that never ends
