It has an ebb and flow
Each melody has a different beat
Each song to help us grow
The melody can be like
The running of cold raging rivers
Like rushing water
Like the roaring of rapids churning down narrow ravines
Plunging, charging, sharp treacherous rocks
Plummeting down perilous slick canyon walls
Keeping time to a furious, frenetic, frantic beat
The melody can be like
The drifting of kitten soft clouds
Like fluffy pillows
Like the puffy white fluffs dotting warm blue skies
Roaming over quiet realms
Float silently, gliding in graceful delight
Keeping time to a serenely pleasant, breathtaking beat
The melody can be like
The spreading inferno of a wild fire
Like the driving wind
Like the glowing embers igniting dry dead leaves, burning
Blazing, searing hot fire, devouring
Smoking ashes, fiery cinders, consuming charred remains
Keeping time to a violent, stifling, oppressive beat
The melody can be like
The succulence of lush sweet meadows
Like the morning dew
Like the pattering of gentle summer rain
Refreshing tender trickles
Nourishing showers of drenching drops, cool streams
Keeping time to a sprinkling, delightful, exquisite beat
The melody can be like
The drifting sands of windswept deserts
Like stinging nettles
Like the dusty, desolate dunes and lonely, shifting hills
Thirsty, parched, dry, forsaken wasteland
Swirling sand in a drought ridden, barren, burning wilderness
Keeping time to a depressing, despondent, forlorn beat
The melody can be like
The changing currents of the oceans
Like the spraying tide
Like the splashing of the waves upon the beach
Lapping at the sandy shores
Rushing back to shimmering, welcoming seas
Keeping time to a steady, unstoppable, surging beat
The melody can be like
The chaotic clash of wild night storms
Like lightning flashes
Like the thundering crash, bellowing, shrieking, gale winds blow
Menacing skies, dark ominous clouds
Howling, screaming, wailing, electrifying
Keeping time to a riveting, gripping, exploding beat
The melody can be like
The grandeur of magnificent mountains
Like the eagles soar
Like majestic alps, glaciers, towering peaks
Pristine highlands, steep, lofty passes
Beautiful waterfalls, cascading splendor
Keeping time to a moving, glorious, triumphant beat
Life is like a melody
It has an ebb and flow
Each melody has a different beat
Each new song to help us grow
Sunrise gives way to our hymns of thanks
Sunsets compose our refrain
Silent nights record our harmony
Stars declare our songs of praise
Joyfully singing His living Words
Inspired from Christ above
In hope and faith freely resonate
Embrace His melody of love
Life is like a melody
His life
The perfect symphony of song
Very nice form! Each single line stanza addresses a different kind of beat that life can have. I really love this one: "Keeping time to a furious, frenetic, frantic beat". Good work!
