The world shines upon those
who see the sun
that hides behind the clouds
for he knows that warmth
is found within his own heart.
The clouds shelter him from the cold,
the sun will rise
and set as it does
but nothing stops him from living.
The stars may dictate his mood
but only he will see through the storm;
for fate is not destiny,
it is your will.
He Shines, Despite The Weather

I like the “nothing stops him from living” line. So true. We are in charge of ourselves.. I like this poem.
Thanks Ray! Appreciate your comment. Exactly what this poem is about – realising that we are in charge of ourselves, nothing or no one else. Glad you enjoyed it.
