A Note For Life Poem by Vladimir Ashkov

Another sunshine
Another day,
Another storm to flood my way.
I couldn’t stop the rain from pouring
Don’t even know where I am going.
I am a helpless man who’s scared of fate
Holding back and keeping faith.
Tomorrow might be a sunny day,
But surely ahead there’s a rain to stay.

Is misery a life’s shadow?
Or simply my other half?
Why would people cry, after they laugh?
As I take a step and blow my fears
I am counting smiles then gather tears.
I may find happiness in a moment
But then again I gain torment.
With every smile I show them all
There’s a teardropp waiting to fall.

There is no other way
Away from it all,
So what could be my next call?
Will I see the sun first before it rains?
Or a week-long joy after the pains?

Let all those roadblocks come my way…
To life here’s what I can say,
Bring me rain, bring me storm,
Bring me laughs, bring me mourn.
None of these can kill me today,
Bring them all so come what may!
