Light & Dark

Tender compassion

and

Irritated passion

Comfortable companionship 

and

Walls of misunderstanding 

Laughter and fun and adventure

and

Tears and pain and trauma

The joy of living

and

The horrible bleakness of existence

The love of dear ones 

and

The island of isolation

Noticing someone else's hurt 

and

My own hurt blinding me 

Love

and

Hate

Summer

and 

Winter

Weddings

and 

Funerals

Birth

and 

Death

Young

and 

Old

Sunshine

and

Rain

Why

and

What do I do about it

How

To live in the light 

and

Not the dark
