Day 140: Better Aftermath

The idea of aftermath is often followed by a grim overview of something that follows an unfavorable incident. Though it has been associated with that considering the way it has been used, I like to think of aftermaths in the context of what can come out of failures sometimes. I write this because I find friends who are troubled about losing things, whether it is a job, something personal or anything else for that matter. And though the thought of being in troubled times is not uncommon to anyone of us , it is still ones own. Something no one else can truly relate or compare with. I like to think of these events and thinking about the aftermath, what becomes of these once we come out of them. Hence the notion of a better aftermath and I hope you find yours too my dear friends.

Better Aftermath
We are hopes & dreams of a better aftermath,
We are things and reminders of moments that we had.
In between giving up and hoping the best to be,
We are remnants of the day, waiting for the night to set free.

We have all failed from time to time,
We have learned from mistakes & trips we take in our minds.
For the distant road is never too easy to find,
In the aftermath of whatever your day may leave behind.

I wonder if we could fit letters in poetry,
Write as though it is meant just for you and from me.
And when you read it just made sense somehow,
And gave you what you need , even if a little bit for now.

We are building better aftermaths, we will slowly improve,
We will take part in the life and live it just as we used to.
A long time ago when the pieces still fit perfectly, still fine,
We are building better aftermaths, we are writing letters in rhyme.
