Extraterrestrial Guide to Love,
Wisdom and Happiness

By Neil Z. Miller


Tragedy:

Turn Your Life Around

When lightning strikes and sets ablaze
The life you live and know,
Awaken from your groggy haze
--It's time for you to grow.

storm
The patterns of your life are dry
And need a drenching rain,
So tell yourself you'll really try
To overlook the pain.

Instead, reflect on what you'll change
When life gets back to norm.
It really is not all that strange
To weather a big storm.

If lightning strikes again, once more
And throws your ship asunder,
When you are floating far from shore
To piercing claps of thunder,

boatwreck

Be sure that you remain afloat
Until the beach is near.
Now you must rebuild your boat
With all your vision clear.

For when you're drifting all about
With goals yet ill-defined,
It's time to muster all your clout
To leave the past behind.

You are the storm on every trip;
The waters that renew.
You are the master of your ship;
The leader of your crew.

Hope and Faith we must insist
Will never run aground.
So welcome every single twist
And turn your life around.
