The rain stopped,  the clouds past.
The bright warm sun came shinning through,
the intense energy was everywhere.
The happiness felt as if it would forever last.
The taste, the touch and the smells multiplied by thousands.
Every little thing was as magical as a dream.
Then all of a sudden without a word or clue,
not the slightest signal that a shift was coming.
The sun disappears, the clouds roll in, rapidly turning darker
while expanding in the sky.
A veil falls over dark as midnight, you hear the thunder,
feel the lightning striking your heart.
The first drop splashes on your face,
in that very instant the magic the dream has vanished.
In the moments before you were happy, your soul was free and soaring.
Then you realize that moment of happiness was just an illusion.
The magical sun and warmth feeling it brought didn't make the happiness, for it has always been there.
You start to realize that the cool air and rain drops feel good.
The rain is not only rejuvenating the earth but your soul as well.
For it wasn't the situation that made you happy.
The realization that you can make yourself happy in any situation that arises
is the greatest magic of all.
