The Light Comes After Rain

           

         

      The light comes after rain

      To soothe sadness and pain

      The clouds start to disperse

       Your ship is back on course.

       Your plight lasted for long

       But you stayed bold and strong

       In times where hope seemed gone

       You still searched for the sun.

      Even in pitch black night

      You never ceased to fight

      Until you changed your fate 

      So smile, your life is great!

      

A New Dawn

      

        A new dawn comes into the light

       To fill my heart and soul with glee

       I get out of the frightful night

       From darkness and despair
       I'm free.

    

  I leave the troubled past behind

  And head towards a brighter place

  A million thoughts go in my mind

   As I move at my own pace.

  I greet the world with open arms

 Absorbing every sight and sound

So let's embrace its endless charms

And look for beauty all around!

The Light Will Always Shine at the End of the Tunnel

 

Whenever we travel across a mountain road the chances of passing through tunnels carved into the rock are quite significant. For me, they are symbolic of the obstacles we encounter in our existence because life can also be seen as a long journey in which happy moments alternate with dark passages. There are short tunnels which can be crossed by car within a few seconds; they represent in my view the minor obstacles we have to deal with daily. They cause us a little discomfort, but we usually have enough strength to overcome them and continue our journey into the unknown.

However, from time to time we also come across extremely long and dark tunnels. Once we enter them, we're not sure how long it will take before we reach the light again, and thus we are in danger of becoming overwhelmed by fear, anxiety, and even depression. It is during those dark moments of our lives that we have to remember that there is a way out of every tunnel and if we are strong enough, the dark and frightening tunnels can't stand in our way.
As we sink deeper and deeper into the obscurity there comes a moment when we see a point of light which grows bigger and bigger as we're heading to the tunnel exit. All we have to do is always go forward until we're back into the light; if we believe in ourselves and we keep our mental strength and determination we are unlikely to get lost in the tunnel.

The feelings of joy and relief we have once we find the light again are symbolic for those truly special moments in our lives when we realize we managed to overcome the obstacles, but of course, the long journey through life continues and there will be many other tunnels, some smaller and others long and scary, to cross before we reach the end of the road. It's an often difficult, but always fascinating trip in which we learn a lot of things about ourselves and everything that we encounter in our path!
