Explanation:

Below is the excerpt of the poem, TRUTH by Nikki Grime:

The truth is, every day we rise is like thunder — a clap of surprise.

Could be echoes of trouble, or blossoms of blessing.

You never know what garish or gorgeously disguised memories-to-be might rain down from above.

So, look up! Claim that cloud with the silver lining.

Our job, if you ask me, is to follow it. See where it heads.
