Wind and Rain
Everything is awesome,
except for when it's ordinary.
Everything is beautiful,
except for when it's ugly.
But isn't that all just an opinion,
just a matter of what each person thinks?
For example, I could say that the way the wind
blows through the colorful leaves
and my long blonde hair
and our lives
is awesome,
but all you see is the way the wind
gusts through the fraying leaves
and your now unkempt hair
and your disrupted life
and to you, it's anything but awesome.
So maybe it's all about outlook,
just a matter of what attitude a person holds?
Let's say I see the rain that falls and creates
a drink for the growing flowers
and a puddle to jump in
and a rainow to remind me of
the beauty in rain,
but to you the rain reminds you of
teardrops falling onto your face
and memories better to be washed away
and dangers that all seem
quite unappealing.
Maybe that's what's awesome--
that I can find something
so remarkable
so stunning
so awesome,
but what you notice is something
very unimpressive
very disgusting
very unawesome.
How beautiful it is that I can have an opinion
completely different than yours
and neither one is right or wrong
because it's just an opinion,
just a difference in attitudes and outlooks,
but in the end your opinions make you
and my opinions make me
and that is awesome.
