Perspectives

I cant help but wonder how,

The rays of sunshine, winning a battle with the clouds,

Piercing through the harsh downpour, braving the lightening,

Creates a feast for our eyes in the form of a rainbow?

How a gloomy day, whose intensions seem to be to distort our views,

Actually hightlights an etch-worthy view of the mountains at a distance?

How this screams how a much change in perspective,

Can create a completely different reminiscence  of a memory?

How many lessons have I missed out on,

Relationships I might have demolished, people I left behind,

Experiences I left unrelished, sights I left unseen,

Just because my view got foggy for a little while?

Although being well aware that wanting to indulge in every experience,

Is like sowing a seed which will never grow and reach fruision,

What I mourn however are the paths I have traversed,

Failing to experience the pure joy of the journey, rather than the anticipation of the destination.

With this realization dawning on me, with a lot uncertain but a lot to look forward to,

I hope to stop and smell the roses, to look for the silver lining in the dark clouds!

I hope to keep evolving, but enjoy my current being!

I hope to trust my spark and have the patience for the fog to clear!
