Precious Petals

[onyxfiretear]

Sunrise on a windy cold morn
Gentle sky blue fades into peach colored orange
Bringing a clean slate to a night full of depression
Another new beginning filled with vibrant energy

I sit here looking into the new born sky
Wondering what this day will unfold
The more I ponder this question
The more I see the answer is within me

Shall I take a cold falls day and let the depression of loss win me over?
Or shall I look to nature and all her glory
Focusing on the posotives
Instead of drownding in all the negitives

Human nature, on a whole,
Would rather see darkness than the light
Basking in the shadow of misery
Forgeting the simplistic beauty

It is so much easier to look into the streets
Or into another face and find all that is wrong
To look to the heavens as the rain falls
Wondering who passed on this day
Because the angels are crying

Have you ever really sat back and noticed
When bad luck is bestowed upon us
We always assume the worst will happen
And usually what we thought would happen did, because of us?

There are many different views in this world
That is everybody right
But for once, don't you think it would be nice
If we all could see the precious petals of a rose
And not its thorns?

i really like the mid to end stanzas.
