Realisation

In life's twists and turns, a moment arrives,

When all feels heavy, and hope barely survives.

Plans unravel, dreams slip from our grasp,

Left with scant coins, in a world so vast.

Two paths appear, in the midst of despair,

To dwell in the past, or seek what's rare.

But what truly defines us, in this endless quest,

Is the wisdom we gather, from every test.

For it's not the storms that mark our way,

But the lessons we learn, come what may.

Each trial a teacher, in life's grand scheme,

Crafting resilience from every extreme.
