The beauty n hope each dawn brings with it is very soothing to the mind. But nature has its moods too. From a bright day, it does shift to dark gray overcast sky quite unexpectedly. But to take each day as a journey, to live through its wonders, to relish all it has to offer is what makes life worth-living. From spring to summer, the shift is quite natural and we need to adapt just as naturally. An optimistic poem. A huge 10.
Your poem may peacefully have an answer from Rose Milligan: Dust if you must Dust if you must, but wouldn’t it be better, to paint a picture or write a letter, bake a cake or plant a seed, ponder the difference between want and need? Dust if you must, but there’s not much time, with rivers to swim and mountains to climb, music to hear and books to read, friends to cherish and life to lead. Dust if you must, but the world’s out there With the sun in your eyes, the wind in your hair, A flutter of snow, a shower of rain. This day will not come around again. Dust if you must, but bear in mind, old age will come and it’s not kind. And when you go – and go you must – You, yourself, will make more dust! Rose Milligan
