The Arrival

We all know that we'll return to the Earth 

after we have gasped the last breath of the air

while waiting for that arrival

we made several choices

options

decisions

including going after the wonderful things

equipping ourselves like a Christmas tree

overloading oneself with countless problems

subjecting the mind to endless pressure

Having the near-death experience

optimism and positivism are the keys for a better life

Does it really matter after all

flying colours

awesome career

greater wealth

advanced tech 

while waiting for the arrival

Guess it's all about taking chances

embrace every moment

life's too short to be so assertive and so moody

Life is not a bed of roses

within the blossoming roses there exists the spiking thorns

Being positive and ignorant

Being optimistic and happy-go-lucky

these are the assets that one might need to treasure 

When the moment has come

grab it and make it chine

at least that's what I can do

while waiting for that arrival
