My Reflections On Life’s Weathers
(Collection Of Poems About Life)

Poem One
Ode To The Torrential Rain

It has been pouring all day long like hell hath no fury with strong gust of winds refusing to die down

It feels like a tropical monsoon cyclone coming from the mountains of Pacific Northwest

Or maybe the Sierra Nevada desert depositing all the water on earth in one single day

The skies had been scattered with deafening thunderstorms and lightning all night long like an ominous message of things to come

There is a sombre feeling in the air with glooming threatening clouds that is covering the horizon which refuses to abate or subside

I have this sinister feeling that it will probably bring with it a very cold front with it from the Savannah Climes

I could hear the winds howling and the gutters and the storm drains rattling and the trees that seem to about to give way with a terminal velocity that is rarely ever seen

The heavy rain feels like the tundra polar ice cap has melted on the great plains of subtropical ridge

And flooded the entire landscape for not a soul to venture out on a forsaken day like this

I can hear the rain pounding against the window and I look outside with apprehension

I look up at the skies above which still looks foreboding and think to myself that maybe the skies are finally clearing up a little and showing signs of letting up

And as I look up anxiously once again I can almost see the sun shining through

All day long it has been without a hint of silver lining or white anywhere in the skies

The rain still seems to be coming down hard and is relentless as it pounds the ground and there is still no sign of it coming to a standstill anytime soon

And then I find myself looking up once again to see if I can trace its origin in the skies right where it all starts back to the clouds where it is originating from

And as far as my eyes can see I am not able to see it that high up no matter how hard I try

I then look a little further down into the distance and a beautiful pattern begins to emerge

I could see one smooth flow of torrential rain and what we call rainfall as it hits the ground and no matter how hard I try I cannot take my eyes off of it as it continues to hit the ground

And I find myself completely fascinated as I watch it contact the ground and form small rippling droplets of water

As I look a little closer they look like little small crystals strewn in the path ahead of me like a blanket of endless crystals of diamonds all around me

And once again they remind me of pure white prisms creating all the colors of the rainbow right here on earth

Like someone decided to bring the rainbows from the skies above down on earth

And I find myself completely mesmerized and as I look at this breathtaking sight in front of me

I cannot help but admire it’s beauty in its pure simplicity

Poem Two
Seasons And Weathers We Storm

Once again I am feeling restless and find myself in front of my window looking outside and thinking to myself why is it that life sometimes turns out the way it does

The sun is about to set and there is crimson and grey hues all over the horizon far away in the distance where the sky meets the land hidden between the trees as far as the eye can sees

And I wonder in this life how much of it is really in our hands and how much of it is fate where no matter how hard you try there are certain things we just cannot change

And then I am reminded how every morning the first thing I see is the first ray of the sun hitting the tree and catching the dew drops on the leaves of these trees

It is like a sign of new beginning and new hope that each new day brings with it as what life should mean to each and everyone of us and the way it is meant to be lived

My eyes then fall on the majestic tree in the yard in front of me and it has all the beautiful shades of the setting sun reflecting off of it in all the colors of the skies and azure in the dusk light

The tree has almost been here forever now and lost in my thoughts I get distracted  once again and wonder when this tree was planted and who planted it and the way it always seems to have a thousand stories to tell whenever I look at it

It feels like just like me it has seen several seasons and weathered several storms along the way and stands tall with some stories it has to tell about life and what comes our way

I sometimes wish it could actually talk because it always stands so tall in its majestic beauty and its grace that it is absolutely breathtaking

For sometime now it has become an important part of my life and the hours I spend reflecting about life in front of this window and all its intricacies and mysteries that has always puzzled me

Whenever I look at this tree I sometimes think I identify with it as what we both have weathered in this life the cruel weathers we have both seen and still happen to be standing to tell the story

Or maybe our stories are more similar than I am aware of or maybe it's the way it stands tall just reminds me of the way life sometimes plays out no matter what and you have no choice but to fight it out

It is like the roots of this tree which reminds you that what really determines in this life who and what you are and how tall you stand in this life are your very own roots you actually lay in life

And it makes you realize that in life your youth and past are shaped by the seasons that come into your life which then shapes to a great extent the way we do do things in life

And the decisions we do make and the way we deal with life then ends up shaping us as who and what we are today despite life’s harshness and cruelties

And then I realized that at certain point in our life we all have to make this transition in life where it stops being about the roots we came from and becomes about the roots that we ourselves have laid as every single thoughts to every single decisions that we have made that defines as who and what we are in this world today

It then becomes about us as an individual that we are and these roots that we have laid with the religion we have chosen to practice in life that then becomes our very own identity in this life

It reflects the weathers we have stormed just like this majestic tree in front of me which has probably seen as many seasons as I have which now feels like my very own identity as to where I am in life

It also makes you realize that few things in life that we have always taken for granted in life and if for some reason lfe does not turn out to be that way

it is like this tree standing silently in front of me not saying a word yet says a thousands of stories to me about how life is and has this one very important thing it has to say to me

That in life sometimes a total stranger can come into your life and give your life that meaning which life sometimes takes away from you as few things you always thought you could count on in life

I realized that that then gives us that true meaning that we have all been looking for in life to stand tall just like this majestic tree in front of me as the seasons and weathers we have stormed that came into our lives and shaped us who and what we are today

What has now become a morning ritual to spend sometime looking outside this window and and reflecting on life I once again realize that it is like feeding the soul and realizing that long time ago it stopped being about anything other than the roots we lay and no longer about the roots we come from

And that when one door closes another door opens as something beautiful that life has to say with the roots we have created for ourselves with what we have made of ourselves in this life as who we are in this life

Poem Three
Blue Skies And It’s Shades

When you look at a glass you wonder is it half empty or half full
When it’s simply two different perspectives from two different schools
One filled with hope as prevailing state of mind
Other filled with despair and probably life being unkind
It does not always come stated in black and white but with plenty of grey areas in between
To make you lose your mind it’s like waking up every dawn
With new beginnings of life or the greyness of dusk making you realize
Another day has gone by sometimes it’s being too grounded on earth
To take it any any other way than the obvious or to look at the silver lining in the skies above
And let your spirits soar high

In this life what it really boils down to when it comes to a glass that is half empty or half full
Is simply optimism or pessimism that you feel depending on where you are in life that will not standstill
It will never be stated in black and white no matter how simple it is
But all the grey areas of reality being played out and sometimes as blessings from above
Sometimes as new beginnings of dawn sometimes despair of night
Sometimes as hope you still feel no matter how frustrating is life

So why take life any other way other than making the choice to be happy
No matter what comes your way when you find yourself dwelling too much in pain
And life feels unbearable and like a losing game in that case you have two choices in front of you
To be miserable or to be happy no matter what life throws at you in that case leave your life’s baggage and bankruptcies behind choose to be happy first in your mind
Then take the steps to be kind to yourself and to be happy in life

In this life we are all ultimately on our own this world is filled with people
Who do not need a reason to thrive you of your dignity or money
So always be forewarned they are born special with sense of entitlement
These bankruptcies of people’s life entitled to their happiness at other people’s expense
So ugly in their ugliness and avarice that it makes you realize God knows how to create them
And send them your way learn to recognize their footsteps from a mile away
You will meet them in all shapes and forms in life’s every highs and lows that comes your way
And it will surprise you their sense of entitlement and their happiness
At other people’s cost these lost souls of devil
Who know how to value their happiness at every cost and who know they were born very special

In this life learn to value yourself if you don’t no one else will
This world is a strange place where you cannot take anything for granted
Not even your closest ties not even your scared space in this life you never know in which way
The trade winds will blow learn to be strong and know yourself
Instead of going with the flow if you want to be someone in this world
Learn to recognize who and what you are with all the facts and figures in place
That is how leaders are born to always take the bulls by the horn
Empower yourself with intelligence and knowledge to face this world
As the leader of the world

Poem Four
Few Reflections On Life’s Baggage

You don’t get to go back and correct your mistakes
In this life somethings you just cannot change
Don’t keep looking back what’s done is done
Don’t look back because past cannot be undone
Life stops for nobody whether we are somebody or nobody
Moving on is another name of life in this life that’s to stay
Moving on is the game of life we all have to play
No matter how hard we try to run away
We are all out here in this journey called life
Arms wide open head held high the world ahead of us
An endless field and open skies future unknown and nothing we can take for granted
Not even our closest ties our destinations in life are numerous
With many crossroads in between only God knows where this journey is going to take us
Oblivious as we are of our destiny
Life stops for nobody it is like a river that runs deep
And keeps moving forward likewise we have to keep moving forward
In this journey of life it stops for nobody if you sit on the sidelines too long
For someone to come along waiting for the tide to subside
Instead of taking life by the horns life will pass you by
Without love by your side you will never be able to reach your destination
You have only one life  why live life with resignation
Always moving forward is the sign of life always moving forward
Is another game of life and stagnation is the sign of death
You are not the only one in this journey of life and people will come and go into your life
Some to stay and make a difference others as passers by
And lessons to be learnt in may day some bring happiness into your life and others are just a lesson to be learnt
Why waste time playing the blame game and what could or could not have been
Since nothing ever really stays the same when it’s lot simpler to leave the bankruptcies of your life
And just move on one way or another they will all leave their mark today
In a known or in an unknowing way like footprints in the sand
Affecting your destiny and your mind no matter which path we take
The path ahead is filled with ups and down destiny unknown
And opportunities that will come and go and the path ahead is filled with curve balls
And shortcuts easy to take and stray  and it is not always about being right
it is also not always about being wrong nor is it easy to stay on the path
When temptations all around us are abound the path we still take to get to our destination
It still happens to be as important
As the one in our imagination because the path we take
Defines who and what we are the path we do take
Ultimately defines us as the person we are
Change is another name of life changing with times is an
Important survival game of life that we all have to play
Changing with times in this tough world  gives you a strong hold
To keep moving forward strong and bold and adapting to changing times is important in winning the game of life
You do not get too many chances at winning no matter how hard you strife
This world belongs to the one who changes with time and keeps on ticking
This world belongs to the person who keeps on moving forward at all times
The world belongs to the person who keeps moving on in life
Hold your head up high and accept change and keep moving forward
Because that is how you win this game

Poem Five
Love Life And It’s Regrets

When life feels like a dead end go out and touch someone
When life feels meaningless learn to let go and smile again
When life feels hopeless choose to be happy and live again
When everything around you feels like one big mess
Realize lfe will always be a little bit of love and little bit of regrets

Life is meant to be lived with regrets
It’s ultimately about paying your due respects
Live life large like there’s no tomorrow
Do not make choices which leads to sorrow
Few mistakes we all make are simply lessons learnt
Few we don’t maybe opportunities lost and bridges burnt
If you do not take a chance on life you will never find out
Sometimes love is something you chase after instead of sitting it out
In this life things don’t always come easy
Grab happiness from life even if it gets busy
In this world there are no guarantees in life
Take time to smell the roses and feel alive
Live life like it is meant to be conquered
Chase after your dreams and fulfil it and make it yours forever
Life will always come with ups and downs
Few highs and lows that will always come your way and meant to surmount
In this life sorrow is something nobody can escape
No matter where you hide or which path you take
People will give you rope to hang yourself
Learn to kick them hard and kick them back and respect yourself
Always face your fears head on no matter what and at life’s every bend
Never ever surrender even if it is till the very end
What good is this life if you haven’t lived it with regrets
It just means you have lived life and payed it it’s due respect

So what are you scared of  when all you need is courage not unheard of
Don’t let people stop you or fold and don’t be scared of this world
Don’t be scared of what people will say because people will talk no matter what you do have to do or say
Remember it is not always about your religion but also about theirs and their blatant assumptions
Go out there and make a difference but first and foremost in your own life
And that will give you the strength to do so in other people’s life because obstacles will always be there
That in essence is life  and not a smooth journey no matter how much you prepare
Meant to be removed from your path and overcomed and if you don’t remove them how will you get to your destination?
Go conquer this world after all this world is yours
Go make a difference because you were born to do so the day you were born
This world is your playground so don’t let anything stop you
Success is yours to achieve and all you have to do is set your heart to it and believe
You can change the world so do take the initiative
But also always remember you need to be strong first because intelligence and power comes with responsibility
Let your passion guide you and allow your imagination to soar
You were meant to do great things so never ever sell yourself short
Go change this world because it belongs to those who dare
If you have will and determination you can achieve anything no matter how rare
This world is filled with people who need heros so out there and reach out to them
And give them hope and give them an opportunity at a better world
And stop people from getting lost in the fold just go out there and make a difference
In your own life and in other people’s life as well you were meant to do great things
Do not let anything stop you believe in yourself and the world will believe in you
