The Trick

What will not turn boring

When things keep repeating themselves

Even an excitement will turn exhaustion

Pleasure will turn plainness


But why is it not boring

When day in day out

The same sun and moon

Keep revolving around the sky

The same four seasons 

Continue rotating with time


Why is it not boring 

When life is merely a game of

Repetitive striving to get through each day 

A continuous struggle to extend our lives


It seems after a night of sleep

The fresh morn tricks us to start anew

And forget about the boredom of 

Repeating the same routine 

Day after day
