you’re the meaning

written after reading Kris Gage’s

while listening to Chopin’s Marche funèbre

There will not always be rainbow after the rain
And the yesteryear flowers may not bloom again
There will not always be silence after the storm
But your future is waiting for you to reform

Rest if you must and pause if you have to
And give up on anything that fools you
But do not ever give up on learning
To give yourself and this life a meaning

commentary:
Aesthetically the fourth line should be:

And what was once beautiful has now lost its form

so the first part progresses from a rainy day without rainbow to the lost of beauty
and it will be more pleasing if the fourth line is about beauty
but the author, consider himself more a philosopher than a poet,
does not wish the reader to be lulled by beauty
and let his/her feeling stops him/her from his/her journey

indeed, the author would like the readers to spend as little time as possible on either pride or shame, and focus on her/his goal

that’s why the line “But your future is waiting for you to reform” which seems like out of place is deliberately written as a wake up call for the readers
