Homage.

once,
i told a friend,
that my life is one hell of a circus,
with many surpises lurking in every corner.

and he (she?) hastily replies,
"yes, life is one great circus,
and we are it's great attraction,
and everytime we act,
either we've greeted with applauses,
or failing miserably and boo-ed.."

and the key for our happiness,
lies in the aftermath,
or as he (she) says,
the flow..
