Sometimes I
admire the
moon for it
cannot match
the sun’s glory
so it finds
it’s own patch
of sky to
brighten.
Sometimes I
admire the
nightingale
for it is drowned
out in the shrilly
shouts of other
fowls so it
finds its own
silence to
liven.
Sometimes I
strive for the
sun yet I
can’t reach it,
so I aim for
the twinkling
stars instead.
Somewhere
over the rainbow
the colour black
is weeping,
but then she
realizes the
mysterious beauty
of the night.

I enjoy the way this puts the alternative scenarios out there front and center – change your perception, change your outcome. Nice!
