All of you living in Singapore...especially those living in my area...should really understand what i'm talking about. It's only 1100 but the skies have undergone so many changes...like how life unfolds before your eyes...I woke up to a beautiful morning. The skies were overcast and grey, but it didn't rain. Rather, the morning was fresh and bright despite the grey clouds which hung heavily. A shower of rain in the early hours came when everyone was still lost in slumber, cleansing the world of all its weariness and poison, leaving her smelling fresh and new again...
...so lass mich für immer und ewig schlafen...
The pavement and roads were wet, the grass shimmered magically a deep verdant green, and gradually the neighbourhood stirred from sleep. The grey clouds seemed to lighten that little more and a small sunray shone through a break in the clouds...a realisation hit me. Every day is a gift, a wonder to be treasured...
...könnte es immer auch so bleiben...
After breakfast, on the walk home, i looked up again. The sky was split into two: half a pure azure, half leaden with grey. In between was a border of white, a white which began tinged with blue until it finally gave way to the monochrome of grey. It was a scene so rare, a scene which i wished i'd have taken a picture of...i walked up a slope (there are painfully many in my area) and looked back. I saw tightly clustered houses and a low treeline with the heavens providing a superb backdrop...it's amazing. I walked this path for 2 years daily during JC, and yet i never paid attention...
...wär's mir irgendwann eingefallen...
I reached home. The heavens were now a deep azure, showing all its purity to the world. The Sun was a blazing gemstone in the sky, so brilliant and dazzling in its full wonder...i relaxed back in my bedroom and put on Laith Al-Deen: LIVE. Just as Bilder von Dir began, the previously clear skies began to cloud and darken...I could see the grey slowly swallow up the deep blue...swallow up that brilliant sphere of light...ironically, as Meilenweit began to play, a song about distant, distant sunny beaches, the perfect jamaican holiday...it began to rain. At first imperceptible, the rain gradually increased until the rain began to blur the outlines of things around. I looked away, back to my reading, and when i turned back...the rain had mysteriously faded away into nothingness again, leaving the world smelling of that cleanliness and purity which a shower brings...
...ist es nicht wie unser Leben?
Now? Now it is sunny again...blue skies and sunshine, with patches of white floating randomly in that deep deep blue sea we call the sky...a moment and it can turn grey again...sometimes it rains even while the sun shines...sometimes rain and shine show us something of absolute beauty and wonder, something which cause our jaded and tired souls to brighten up, laugh and believe in miracles again...an incandescent rainbow of colour...
...wann seh ich meine Regenbogen?
Isn't the weather like life? I'll explain later.
