Choices, Chances and Changes

 

The heavens look dense and dark looming above

A blanket obscuring the sun to greet the day 

The overcast skies are like shadows carrying a load

While the wind rustles the leaves as the trees sways along

There is a sense of anticipation and deviance

As the stillness envelopes the earth with an eerie hum.

 

The landscape feels moody with shades of blue and grey

The energy’s strength is heavy and poignant

A signal of imminent hint that a rainfall is coming

As the cloud’s veils opens to release its cargo

Emotions are stirred with sadness and grief in tow

As the rain starts to fall, tears drop like the rainfall.

 

The cyclical nature of existence reflects the inevitability

Life of past is celebrated on love – love of family and love of life

A remembrance of happiness – from childhood to later life

A tribute of sacrifices – of passion, affection and aspirations

A reflection of choices – of failure, acceptance and hope

And a memory of life lived – of laughter, success and pain.

 

As the rain continues to fall it alters the spirit to flourish

The downpour cleanses the soul with renewal and repair

The ozone in the air fills the sphere of mortal realm with light

The melancholy evokes the mourning of the body – lost in sorrow

At every cry and sobbing – the sun stares down in tranquillity

Tomorrow there is rebirth – a reconnection of another life to begin.

 

For Mamang Blanca – Until we meet again!
