The journey with the constant sun. Along ‘it’ the sun set low and the night stars shine. Tomorrow comes with change (s) but how can a young mind understand these changes? Early tomorrows bring hardship with mainly childhood joy.
The tomorrows begin to spin a little faster like cards on some type of wheel. Adolescent has arrived. In the tomorrows, there are hardships; thank God church life brought some type of joy.
More tomorrows, going through the airport freshness is smelt. Night comes, where are the stars? there seem to be none. This tomorrow started like the early tomorrows, it brought good change, optimism and satisfaction regarding study & work. There was a reason for the stars not showing, because there was struggle too. The cards on the wheel goes fast again, this time adulthood.
The tomorrow slows with growth, a new sense of understanding. Where did the emotion go? I guess it has always been lurking around like a roller coaster, from time to time. I guess this has been suppressed/pushed back, maybe even worked through. It reminds me of love, hope and faith, the three pillars in Christianity.
At some time, gratitude has to be show so why not in the middle of it all. Life has not been all that bad amongst the pain and lost. Others would say but you haven’t had it so bad. And yes, I guess I haven’t had it so bad; let’s not think about the pain.
I can see why pain is often avoided. However, time requires’ one to get through it, in order to
survive. Maybe it is the reason I have survive without realising it.
