Cloud Forest

When our thoughts are clouded,
With worries or problems lying ahead,
We miss out on the bigger picture,
Staring right at us instead –

We try to maneuvere,
Calculating every step,
Hoping we would survive The Falls,
Emerging determined, unwavered, perfect.

But sometimes –
Clouds can be overwhelming,
The Forest ahead unnerving,
The path, dark and neverending,
Fear, depleted confidence, creeping.

As we continue to sit and ponder,
At the problem looming ahead,
Remember the big picture,
That we need to focus on instead.

Perfection may not be the solution,
Reach out! Seek salvation!

Let your heart be your guide,
And your intuition be that light.

An original piece inspired by my visit today to the Cloud Forest with a dear childhood friend.
