Embarked I on a journey of self-discovery and delight,
The journey had begun, I could not contain,
Oh the excitement, the ideas, the promises, that flight!
Life couldn't get better, said the heart
It all made sense, thought the brain
But the soul grimaced at the peril it contained;
I chose to understand, I chose to hear,
Forgot I, that it was most important to feel.
En route came a rude awakening
Which took me by surprise
Wreaked its havoc, ran its course
Left me with a lot to question and surmise;
Like an epoch of dismay in the cold long winters,
It rendered frigid everything it touched.
Fireworks do light up the dreary night sky,
But remember their beauty is evanescent,
Moments don't last forever,
Times swell and ebb like the tide,
Times swell and ebb like the tide,
Someone once told me the grass was greener,
On the other side :)
