From my terrace
I can see the sun through the clouds.
Is there another choice?
There are always choices.
I can only see the clouds.
I can see my life through a glass darkly.
And be enmeshed in shades of black and gray.
Or…
I can see the sun through the clouds.
I can revel in my time.
Until there is no more.
Or…
I can see the clouds and the sun.
I can see life in all of its glorious colors.
Along with the grays and the blacks.
The clouds will be there.
So will the sun.
I can choose to be a lamp unto myself.
I can choose to submit to the darkness.
I can choose not to choose.
There will be darkness.
There will be light.
I can prance.
Or shuffle.
Or limp.
I choose to prance.
(More like play at every chance).
What is your choice?
