A Change Of Heart

Like water that was let loose from its reservoir,
I decided to gear my feet to where gravity will take me, 
than always forcing myself to flow upward,
just to go back down.  

I should go where the gust blows 
to be with the grasses that just grow, even without care,
than going against the wind 
to a direction where only cactuses have the right to thrive.  

I must tame my pride and follow the wisdom of the sky,
so, like the sun, I could thrive even when clouds are gray,
and even when days becomes the night, 
for, on one side, I always shine.
