Peace of Heart - Potd

Times when I felt my life is spent.
Should I yearn for happiness?
I feel I am like a towel
That absorbed too much.
Has it been washed
Far too many times?
Or like a colourful hummingbird
that lost its joyous tune
And can only grumble
At injustice and senile shame?
 
Behind the dark clouds of everyday
The sun shines bright and clear,
Emitting golden beams,
Enriching the deep galaxy,
Around it circle myriads
Of gaseous nebulas 
And gorgeous stars.
 
And as I contemplate this greatness
I know I'm not alone,
I smile a little hopefully
And feel peace in my heart.

Victor, there is so much truth in your words - "behind the dark clouds of everyday the sun shines bright and clear." What a beautiful metaphor for the presence of love that is always waiting for us. Wonderful imagery. I really like the way your poem transitions from frustration to hope. Thank you for sharing this gem of life wisdom! Blessings for every season to you. Congratulations on your POTD!
