Nonsense -
that's what they speak.
Words filled with hate ,
words that discourage.
It all falls on deaf ears -
I purposefully ignore them.
My attention is drawn outside ,
birds chirping and children playing.
The sun rays warm the earth ,
leaving no trace of yesterday's rain.
I begin to wonder -
wonder about life ,
life being just like sun and rain.
Rain comes into our lives -
pain , hurt , sorrow.
Leaving its prints in our souls -
but nurturing us for self growth.
We feel as if the sun may never shine again -
we will not find happiness again.
And then -
we see that one ray of sunlight ,
that breaks through the clouds.
The dark clouds known as our dark days ,
are gone.
The sun wipes clean our sadness ,
and replaces it with happiness and warmth.
Self growth needs both pain and happiness -
the way a flower needs both rain and sun.
I'm shaken vigorously -
awakening me from my deep thoughts.
I am asked -
what do I see out of the window.
My reply -
everything...
