Twist and Turn

From Monsoon clouds, rain descends in shrouds, 
Thunder and Lightning, in fear we are enshrouded, 
When rain bids adieu, Sun's glow reappears, 
Rainbow graces the skies, allaying our fears.

Birds serenade, while the rainbow stands tall,
Nature's artistry praised by one and all, 
Twists and turns, events nature confides, 
A dance of elements, where wonder abides.

When one is in love, world seems to be a lovely place,
When one is alone, world seems to be a lonely place,
When quarantined due to pandemics, world seems to be an isolated place,
When social activities flourish, world becomes a habitable place,
This is a twist and turn event in which social desires take place.

When you succeed, joy prevails,
When you lose, agony awaits,
When you are pessimistic, gloom prevails,
When you are optimistic, happiness awaits,
This is a twist and turn event of survival, life anticipates.

Countless life's events, shape where we strive, 
Embrace optimism, for sunbeams will arrive.

"When you are pessimistic, gloom prevails, When you are optimistic, happiness awaits,"..... Love these lines. Reads like an adage !
