Now and forever

We begin with life giving and we end with life taking. By taking away what was we appreciate what is. When a door closes, a window opens. But if the door never closed, would we ever open the window? Would we ever walk along the path we once castigated? An egg will prevail an egg, a bean will never become a beanstalk and dreams will never come true. So was the world painted with rainbows and butterflies to yield us with a drop of hope and a leap of faith? Or were dragons and knights a configuration of warning to tell us that life is a battle? Are dreams and nightmares worth anything if in the end we wake up and it all signifies nothing? To find that what was meant to be, what should be and what is were from opposite ends. Whichever it is, somehow we manage to find the bright light within the darkness. Just like the weather, comes rain comes shine. If you look in the right direction you will find what you’re looking for. But what would happen if the bright light weren’t what you surmised it to be? Should we be blind and feign not to see it or should we acquire what is and progress with what would be? Who will be there to tell say which is a door and which is a window? Which is a dream and which is a nightmare? Which is a butterfly and which is a dragon? Life is a perpetual marathon. Sometimes you have to stop and stare as the world elapses before you realize where you are and what you want. The journey through life stretches far beyond the finish line. Occasionally in order to take a step forward we have to take a step back. By doing this, would we be fall far behind others? Or will it be another turtle and rabbit case? We all strive for greatness and seek an ending. Days where we can sit back and reflect upon the past. Where memories form a future. The uncertain that led to possibilities. Once regret eclipsed gratitude where as lust dispersed what mattered most. People often say that happiness need not be pursued. So what about the recipe for happiness? Right time? Right place? Right moment? Right people? Do all these elements need seeking? The answer shall remain undisclosed. As for now, I shall build a future and construct a path that was once traveled by others. With this I may stumble upon the road less traveled.
