Aha moments, moments of life

The snap of your fingers
The deep loud sigh, and a slump of your shoulders
Which is the physical expression of your aha moment
The moment of truth, of realisation , or of discernment
We get to this point differently;
On a mental journey; snails pace or quickly
On heart strings pulled taut, your emotions mimicking a tight rope tango
Or via a spiritual trip you go
Aha moments, are moments of life
Whether you savour or you strife
It's that moment, when the beauty of an African dusk became obvious
That point when you know the one who walked away, is the one who matters
The moment when time stood still, as the one walked through the door
The moment when you realise the one you voted for is a dunce
And the one you are about swing to will do a merry jig with your coins
The moment when the solution to a complex math problem offers itself in pure simplicity and clarity
The moment when you accept grudgingly that love really conquers all
It's Aha....when you say; this is where I give up
It's still aha when you grit your teeth, clench your fist and brace yourself with hope
It's also that moment when your first resort is to elope
The moment of truth, the moment of realization
The point of acceptance, the relief of illumination
What is your aha moment?
Did it seduce you slowly or was it a jolt?
Will you surrender to it's lull
Or will you resist its gull
An aha moment is a moment of life
Embrace it or suffocate it
Never deny or ignore it

Closed chapter isn't a closed casket
Its life telling u to reset

The sun's light dims and dies in the evening
Only to rise in hot and brilliant splendour at the break of dawn

From dusk to dawn
From a smile to a frown
From a giggle to a yawn
From rainstorms to the driest harmattan

The only certainty is the constant flux
I grace the bad days with a wink

Fists clenched
Feet planted

Pawing at terra firma
attacking life as an eager beaver

Looking forward to closing chapters
Yielding to new life through rebirths

Life's cute way of starting a new race
So get set, reset and GO!
