Tired and depressed,
I wandered near a pool
to refresh myself under the trees' shade
and enjoy its cool.
As I wondered what to do
I saw floating on the water, a leaf,
a leaf that was discolored and lifeless,
a leaf that symbolized life's grief.
As I sat watching the dead thing,
and thinking about my life,
a cool breeze started flowing
moving the water and everything.
I kept gazing at the leaf,
when suddenly a wind overturned it,
to reveal a greener and fresher
other side.
That was when I realized
that life too has two sides.
If its the bad one now, just wait
for the breeze to change the tides.
