Living is seldom facile
It is too much of a hassle
Sometimes things turn dark
The bleakness stands stark
Things are often dismal
Wish it wasn’t so abysmal.
Darkness wasn’t meant to stay
Can we make it go away?
Bleakness is not our friend
Every second is ours to defend.
The sky is cloudy and grey.
Instead of going astray,
Think about the aftermath
and the rainbows crossing the path.
In Autumn, the leaves fall
Yet, the trees stand proud and tall.
Come spring, they grow again
And give us flowers with no restrain.
When things go wrong,
Remember they don’t stay that way for long,
When it feels morose and dour
Think about spring’s bright colour.
There is always brightness
at the end of the tunnel, just progress
It can be desolate and sullen
Don’t forget to smile now and then
Life will always find a way
To spread some joy every day.
