Hidden Sunshine

It's been long since I've put finger to key, mind to matter, writing out what the eyes see, what the heart feels. Tonight, I feel the need to do it, and I thank you for creating that need in me.

Whenever we go through something dark in life, whenever we get our heart broken, or whenever we lose someone, life becomes something that is lesser than a gift. The living day becomes dark, the night becomes sorrowful; life as it is loses its colour, our heart loses it youth. We lose our sense of bearing, existing for the sake of existing, and our thoughts have no heading. 

Even I, went through such a patch. So much pain, so much anguish, so much more than what the heart can endure. Time heals everything, is what I've heard, but when time as it is, cuts your heart with every passing second, healing becomes a distant dream. That is what I thought.

BUT I WAS WRONG

We don't realise that life is a never ending journey. As how the earth continues rotating, as how the wind keeps blowing, so does life, passing on by every day, every night. Every dark, sad, miserable happening is just an episode in life, a dark cloud on a rainy day. Life is like a novel; the chapters end, but the story progresses. The ending of every chapter, prepares the reader for a new chapter ahead. So are these emotions, this pain, this anguish, it comes, happens, and passes, in a way God sees as a method to prepare us for the next chapter in this novel we call life. 

Ever experienced a rainy day? As it rains down the Earth, the water flowing into every nook and cranny and crevice there is? Ever felt how your heart feels at that moment? Ever seen the black, heavy rain clouds move past, pushing every penetrating ray of sunshine away from the sky, just covering it and keeping it from shining onto you? That's what these emotions are, that's what these losses are, that's what these sorrows and anguish and sadness are ; those passing rain clouds. As it passes, the rain becomes a drizzle, the water flows a little slower, and the rays of sunshine pierce through the clouds, to shine upon you. The sunshine never left, it was just hidden by those clouds that passed as soon as they came. But come what may, that sunshine will never leave you, just to come up and greet you and shine on you with every passing day. That's life as I see it. Every sadness just comes and goes, but the love, the sunshine that falls on you will never disappear. Someone will always be there to be that sunshine, just to tell you again and again that these are just passing rain clouds, and the sunshine is always there for you, and to me, I see that sunshine in you, and this I dedicate to YOU :).
