Smile At Adversity

Winter Landscape from All Free Download.com 

The sun smiles upon my face
So bright is the light it bears
For the day is young, and so am I
So why not soar out into the sky.

The snow glistens in white
Crunching beneath my feet
A chilling sensation of the spine
Yet I fall and angels appear.


Into the swamp lands
Of mush and deadened brush
My smile still gleams
Mud upon my face without a care.

Trekking along the cement sidewalks
I stare off into the distance
As cars whiz by, busier than bees
In the dead of winter.

Why must they be in such a hurry?
I really want to know
Because the day is just beginning
As the evening begins to snow.

A blizzard roars past my body
I sway back and forth like a tree
But my roots are firmly planted
And I smile all the same.

When a burning light forms
Before my eyes I can see
Through all the lines of adversity

I know how to seize the day.


For the Reader: Carpe diem.

  1. Despite the blizzards or swamp lands one walks through in life, it IS good to seize each day and make the best of it. ---> That is the message I get from your poem, and I agree with it.
