Rainbow in the sky

I stood by my window looking out at the lush pastures that had seen a cloudy and wet day. The sun was making it's way out, peeping through the gloom, trying hard to make it's presence felt, but it was smothered by the clouds. I looked on the other side and saw a most magnificent rainbow! Violet, Green, Yellow, Red, splashed on the horizon...emanating from nowhere and ending in eternity. It was a splendid sight! My spirits soared, and my heart roared in delight...and amidst all the excitement, I wondered if it was the gloom I must thank for, after all. Ah! The cycle of life, I thought to myself...morn after a dark night, a rainbow after a damp squid...guess it all has a meaning....

  1. Thought provoking....victory is that much sweeter, having experienced defeat:

    Partners in life, pleasure and pain
    Fear and strife, sun follows rain
    Two sides of the same shiny coin.
    Failure drives success, victory and defeat
    Having more, having less, cold swallows the heat
    Isolation so longing to join.
    The rain shall clear, the tears shall dry
    Allay all my fears, to lucid blue sky
    Happiness knocks on my door.
    While pain departs, the pleasure shall thrive
    Lifting the heart, grasping this life
    The sweeter the love, having hated before.
