Follows The Sun (Revised) Poem by Margaret Alice Second

Follows The Sun
Amazing, unique, individual, what we
see of the world is derived from wearing
coloured glasses

Some derive beauty & comfort in scary
events, others hate wonderful ideas
that soar me high into the sky

Some change everything into appalling
experience - others find illumination
in the meanest event

Shifted my focus, looked at all view-
points at once, concluded emulating
positive, inspiring people is best

Negatives come naturally - a dream
is easily crushed by revealing it to
dissenting opinions

I treasure fragile ideas, seeking minds
predisposed to see life positively,
respecting disillusioned people

Frequently depressed - but focus grows
problems, I change perspective, trail
the sun on the horizon

No matter how dark or determined
the bad things can seem - life has
changed so wondrously since

I adopted the magnificent plan of
reaching for the light like a flower
follows the sun…
