My Blue Sky

Life, as I see it, is an abundance of winding roads. As I go along my way, I encounter many different path choices. From time to time, my choices have brought me to blue skies and bright days. As a result, I felt a wonderful sense of accomplishment. However, there have been times where my choices have brought me to cloudy skies. As I continue my journey, I never lose sight of my free will, and if my world around me is dark and gloomy, it is because of the choices that I have made. Occasionally, there were times when I would come across a velvety green pasture which is surrounded by a bright blue sky above. For that moment, I stop and absorb the beauty that surrounds me. As I inhale the warm spring air, and savor the wonderful sense of peace within myself, I am feeling calm and unemotional. Although I am in a wonderful state of peace and serenity, I soon realize that this world does not belong to me, nor do I belong to this world. I am suddenly faced with yet another life choice. I ask myself, do I stay in this world, knowing that it is not really mine, or should I move on with the hope of finding my own world. After serious consideration, I decide to keep on moving. As I continue forward, my emotions begin to take over my senses. For a brief moment, I am feeling regretful to have left behind that wonderful world of sheer splendor.  However, my feelings are short lived. I suddenly realize that I cannot look back. I must move forward, even though I do not feel warm and peaceful, and my skies are gray. I also know, however, that this feeling shall pass. My inner spirit shall reassure me once again that I have chosen the right path for myself. Soon, I shall be in that wonderful place that I have been desperately searching for. If I keep looking straight ahead, and if I do not look to my right, where hatred and strife prevail, or to my left, where greed and wealth dominate the green pastures, I will find my way. As long as I trust my inner spirit and hold onto my self worth, I will find that world that I am destined to be a part of. I know that when I find it, I will belong there, and my blue sky will be mine to keep forever.
