Sunny skies and dark rains
Hope emanates and lucid pains
Rocky paths and smooth sails
Hurting words and comfort bails
And each leaf that falls on the ground
Is swept by the wind and turned upside down
The moment of magic starts to unwind
When from its death, growth to find.
Brown patches and spotless whites
Sore bumps and flawless bright
Heavy weights and feathery loads
Stressful life and holiday mode
And each sea star that’s wash ashore
Stranded life drying and sore
Fancied by someone to take home
Washed and made into a décor.
Royal stand and shabby mien
Form deceiving and presence unseen
Dagger pierces and tender care
Hurting words and comfort flair.
And each heavy steps my feet partake
Deliver pains and tendons break
My spirit’s intact as I stroll
Free to stand amidst the fall.
strong ending. It's like saying whatever happens, you'll survive it all.
ReplyDeleteand of course you will, Mr. Athan!
Thanks for the visit. Strength can only comes from within and change can only comes from one's willingness to get up and fight.
ReplyDeletei was about to say that KJ liked the ending because of the "tendons breaking" hehehe!
ReplyDeletei liked the last stanza. indeed strong and inspiring. when we fall we can always choose to stand :)
just like happiness and misery, it is always a choice. the recent events in my life had been instrumental to my strength, a learning process and an eye-opener.
