The Trickling Rain
December 8th, 2011 § Leave a Comment
Weather has been erratic these days.
Its hot and sunny and suddenly its pours.
It sorta makes me think deep sometimes.
When I started writing this draft it was pouring.
Now that I got interrupted many times and finally reached my 5th line, its bright sunshine.
Guess time ticks by and I am still learning.
New things and old things that I’ve forgotten.
***
When your mind’s clear, being happy is chicken feet.
When your mind’s clouded, being happy is no mean feat.
When your mind’s clear, the belief that you will survive and that you are invincible is so strong.
When your mind’s clouded, you wonder where that belief has gone to and you weep at your own weak mind.
When your mind’s clear, you know very well flowers will wilt and new buds will bloom.
When your mind’s clouded, flowers bloom beautifully today just to wilt tomorrow. Such shortlived beauty.

So what if its clear or clouded.
Life goes on. We charge on and face the world like nothing’s different.
We smile. We talk. We put on a mask – just like everything is perfectly fine.
We see our todays become our yesterdays and becoming someone else’s today.
What else could we do but to smile and encourage, live and let live.
Let go, because it will let you forget and make you happier.
Let go, becuase you know its not yours to begin with.
But yeah .. its tough. But pass the first hurdle, it will get easier.
I have no wish to be invincible, but I do not wish to be wallow in weakness either.
