Between the Ups and Downs

Between the ups and downs there is A place that’s smooth and flat And that is where, for most of us, Our lives are mainly at. So many choose to fix it up As cozy as a nest, Creating a retreat as an Escape when we are stressed. Or just a place to pass the time While waiting for the highs, Or prepping for the worst so lows Won’t come as a surprise. The ups and downs don’t last too long And when they’ve left the scene, It’s comforting returning to The place that’s in-between.
