Go somewhere that has air as clean as fresh laundry.
Relax with that crisp air and find a comfortable seat.
The sun is out now and shall be your glowing guide.
Let the winds blow to give you more of that clean air.
Inhale that cleanliness and lay your body on the ground.
Don’t worry, the leaves are soft and welcoming.
You’ve been working a lot and your body needs recuperation.
Now, close your eyes.
All your rainy days are long gone.
Pick up your body slowly and let your feet adjust to your new walkway.
One step forward and you’re on the right path.
One step backward and you’ll be on the left.
Take one step back to cure your curiosity.
It’s not exactly the wrong move to make, but you don’t want to get stuck.
So take two steps forward on the right path.
The sun’s shining brightly, but it’s blocking your view.
You only get to see the path, but the destination has to be walked towards.
What will you encounter on the path?
The beauty of life is that we know where we wanna be, but there’s always the unexpected that waits.
Keep walking, I say.
One droplet of rain won’t hurt.
Don’t be afraid if it gets heavier.
Your rainy days are long gone, but the rainiest ones are brewing.
Notice that the sun continues to shine as bright as a full moon.
The clouds aren’t big enough to block it and neither is the rain gonna block you.
The rain isn’t gonna stop you.
Keep up the fast pace, I say.
Don’t you see that gorgeous rainbow in the sky?
Don’t you notice the chirping of the birds?
Walk to the beat of their music because the rain is stopping.
The rays of the sun pushed away from the clouds as did your determination.
If the tears of the sky can’t stop you, nothing can.
You’re almost there.
Don’t you see the butterflies at the end?
Don’t you smell the clean air once again?
You made it to the end of the rainbow with a glowing smile and a strong head.
Aren’t you proud of yourself?
Now, open your eyes and look around at the trees and the beaming sun.
Your rainbow is still there, don’t you see it?
Take a break if you must, but never stop moving.
