Thought for the Day

I was laying on my bed, watching the rain fall outside the sliding glass door to my balcony and began thinking about storms and situations in life, people's struggles. I thought about the quote "It's not about enduring the storm, it's about dancing in the rain". And I thought about how its even about experiencing the pain and going through the hard times as well as the good. How you find yourself in the storm, in those struggles. That's when you come to find out who you really are and how you react and handle things.

As I was thinking all of this, I began imagining painting these ideas and felt the need to begin writing a poem. As I was writing it, I was imagining a song. Hopefully the melody will come to me in the next few days. I'll be sure to share. :)

"Get ready, on your mark
Clouds swoop in, the sky gets dark
There's a strange feeling of peace
But clouds are heavy and have to release

It starts to pour
more and more
light strikes the sky
forcing a desire to cry

Standing alone in this fragile form
In the middle of a frightening storm

This life is about feeling the pain
It's about dancing in the rain
Don't try to endure your time
waiting for the end to arrive is a crime

Stand up and feel the wind
Don't crouch, kneel, or bend
Shine your light through
and everything will start anew"
