Chasing Rainbows No More
As I sit in quiet thought in my workstation, a question stirs, who am I today? In this fleeting blur, the days, the months, the years have slipped away. And still I wander, restless and have gone astray. How could I be still unsettled, unsatisfied, and continue to search and chase rainbows? No matter what I do, such rainbow always remains just a gleam from afar, quite elusive, just a promise whispered by a distant star.
I've sought its end, though deep within I know there is no such passage could ever bring me through. Yet, I ran blindly with hope of its colorful beam, pursuing something that can bear my name. But now I feel a stir within, to see the truth from this clouded range. By the way, It's just an illusion. But it's not too late to turn and see anew, to put my feet forward, to a right place to go.
And so, through the haze, I grope towards a direction that just feels right. Here, I can see a light yonder that can guide my path in a direction out of this tunnel. Why walk the road that only winds me to nowhere, when I can carve a way that leads me out somewhere.?
The choice is mine to stir and that is to quell my deepest fear. It calls me forth and that is to stay in a life of choice that's mine to shape and live. With each step, I know the ground I seek is firm beneath my weary feet.
Rainbows tend to remind us that even after a darkest cloud or fiercest storm, there is still beauty. However, it's a different story when I spent time chasing them. They are but just illusions, breathtaking yet intangible. That's why I now choose to stop chasing them. I focus instead on a path ahead of me, clear and solid, a road to a much attainable destination.
