Such is Life

Lightning striking fierce, no mercy shown
Thunder following soon, this time
With a little less force

Hurdles, walls, fences
All being thrown at me at once
The will to persevere and fight,
Blown away along with the mighty wind

Trees dance like a wilting
Flower in a breeze
And the windows shake
As if they are from a haunted movie

Amongst the ruckus,
A faint rainbow shall appear
Like a $100 note on the floor
Fighting its way through the crowd
Only to share its light

Delight and relief fill the atmosphere
Sadness and despair drowns away
Everything seems to happen in slow-motion

Abruptly the breeze settles,
Only to expose the hopeful butterfly
Flying through the stagnant night!
