Day 188 "Disappointment, Hope, And The Dance"

Disappointment; there is no outrunning it, not a chance, not even the slightest of a chance, not even close to being in the same realm as the one you believe you currently exist in.

If you smile long enough, that smile will eventually transform into a frown.

If you laugh long enough, that laughter will eventually draw tears.

If you have something that you have become proud to own, you will eventually lose that ownership in the flames of ego.

If your heart is aflame it will one day cool from the cold winds ahead.

If you have found something irreplaceable, you will eventually lose it to the will of Time The Thief.

In a life that dances always on the edge of double sided blade, there is always hope to be found for all the hopeless chill the weather can bring, and as long as you draw breath you are a testament to the very power of that word; hope.

If you scream "I am alive!" long enough, you will eventually be heard by your own spirit, and you will ignite the flame in your heart once again.

If your wounded heart is left open to the hope that you will one day find another great thing, another fulfilling moment, it will eventually warm again.

If you find something to call your own, you will have it as company alone, and never should you make the mistake to try to own this thing ever again.

What we have we do not own. What we lose we have not fully lost. In a world of such disappointment and hope, we can only share in the dance.
