Favorite Quote:
&ldquo;The music is not in the notes,<br /> but in the silence between.&rdquo; <br /> ― Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart


I look to the sky and see 42 shades of grey

The rain falls down in puddles of tattered dismay

I close my eyes and smile, "O what a beautiful day"

 

Your curious face tells me that you disagree

Well some enjoy the sun while others take refuge at sea

Finding a way to enjoy a bit of it all is the key

 

Now that you've heard I do hope that you will understand

Your perspective is all and control is the only command

Though the sea may be great, haven may be sought on land


The author's comments:

Perspective shapes us in ways we can't even imagine. Happiness, sadness, depression, anxiety, apprehension... These are all illusions, and we control these feelings better than we could even imagine. Society seems to have wretched us into believing we can't, but it is easy to see beyond the façade.
