Moments

Some moments break us
and we think misery won't ever end.
Some moments take us
to times we find difficult to comprehend.


Some moment drive us
to passionately chase our dreams.
Some moments help us
to understand what we actually need.


Some moments knock us down
to bounce us back higher.
Some moments scratch our hopes
to make us a little more patient, stronger.


Some moments submerge us
under the lashing waves of guilt.
Some moments weave us
a warm, cozy quilt of love.


In moments you stand dejected
when no one is by your side,
and you can't match up to the expectations
in others' and your own eyes.


Just keep one thing close to
your heart and mind,
these are the very Moments
that bring a message within, saying:


"Through the clouds of pain
and tides of time
Tomorrow morning
the sun will shine
and sooner than you think
Everything will be fine..."
