A
Introduction to Cyclical Structure
As the dawn broke over the quiet village, the same silence that greeted the morning echoed at sunset. The trees swayed gently, their shadows stretching out like echoes of the day’s beginning. The sky was painted with colours that felt familiar, closing the day just as the morning had opened it. Throughout the poem, the poet uses imagery that reflects the cyclical nature of life and time, reinforcing the idea that beginnings and endings are interconnected.
