Silver Linings

In the gloom cast by a grey cloud

I sought the rainbow over the shroud

of the morning mist; I waited to see

and feel the kiss of the glorious sun on me.

Through the tears of failure that I shed,

I saw new horizons awaiting my tread,

knocking at my door; my lucky stars

said to me, “This too shall pass.”

Lost in the parched dryness of a desert

alone, I sought the companion within me,

a friend for life; not once I cried

but to build my heaven in hell, I tried.

In freezing winters, the pure white snow,

in austere autumns, the fiery glow

the warmth of summer, the colours of spring

I sought that silver lining in everything.

I chose not to wail, whimper and weep
piling my woes into a humongous heap;
the key to my happiness is no mystery
as I only see what I choose to see.
