FLOW

Such as good fortunes come flowing
Rejoice in the moment of goodness
The blessings that are granted
Wishes that are fulfilled
For behold ....
The tide will go against
Will change
Just as when all is good and blest
Will come tumbling down and crash.

When the last grain sand of the Hour Glass hits the bottom
Will there be heaves of heavy sighs
Laments of hardships
As the harvest gathered depleted
The struggle seems endless to fulfill
The luxury that slowly disappeared
Adversaries gradually take over
From rags to riches
And from riches to vagabonds.

Letting go as ...
Tears will flow, don't hold back
Pain seeps through, praying for ease
A hat of comfort
Now a wreath of thorns, bear with it
Compliments and praises
Became cruel appraisals, acknowledge with a smile.

Taking a step forward
Realizing the truth
Reality is harsher than made known
Until the fire burns the skin, there is no pain
Till the knife slashed the heart, there is no scar
When it all happen, don't wish that they didn't
Instead, pray that they did!
For life won't grow without them coming right into your face
Flow with it!

Sadden by circumstances
Wearied by effort to change
Drained by negativism
Yet moving forward is inevitable
That as each day comes, live it
At each barricade, endure it
Forge forward
Never stop
Should the tide be strong
Set up the sail and adrift
For what surprises the wind might bring
To a new adventure, ahead
Go
Flow.

Till the moment comes knocking on the door
Live the life as it is today
Be prepared in the heart for the worse to come
Yet be known that preparation never served well
A warning is never there to head
Strange that the wrath of life comes, in lightning speed
Like a whirlwind, picks up anything in its path, destroy
Take shelter, and wake up to the bits and pieces
Rebuild, and start fresh, anew
New faith, new hope, new destiny
New direction as it FLOWs.

The pasture may not be greener
Yet it can't be any worse than before
Put in the effort, than to remain stagnant
Least not be stubborn and abstinent
Forward is the way
Flow away.
