Not All Clouds Drip With Rain

Look, If there is one thing I've learned,
It's That
Learning is observing, My friend!
.
Sunbeams glittering outside my window,
The air is cool,
The whispers of the breeze in the shadow
Make me wonder who are you.
.
Today turns into yesterday tomorrow,
Tears wash away sorrow.
Happiness cannot come without pain,
Not all clouds drip the rain.
.
Like a tiger in a den,
Individual power cannot always win.
Like a chicken popping out a shell,
You need many failures to live well.
.
Life is imperfect,
No path leads you to the perfect.
Believe that the sun will shine,
You can survive and feel divine!

'Not all clouds drip with rain'
and, thankfully,
not all experiences end in pain :-)

You listed some in verse which is an even bigger talent!!

Victoria said...

"Real is better than perfect." which I first heard said by my much missed friend Mort Satten, is a personal mantra which your poe echoes.

Life at the cross roads
A time to reflect

A time to change
Know the pitfalls

Don't close your eyes
Perfection isn't in our world

The dew drops sometimes
Reminding the time; the journey

Tears have to fall
Learn the pain know the songs

When the tears drying up
A wise person transforms

Experience counts
It isn't a rope to life

Every day you see
The sun bathes differently

On the cross roads
Don't be afraid to take
