Black and White
A board
of keys
all black
and white
can woo
with sounds
so sweet
and light
or make
us weep
on cold
dark nights.
Our days
aren't like
those rows
of keys
all dark
and light
all storm
and breeze.
The highs
the lows
all else
we seize
for all
are LIFE
the gale
and breeze
the joy
and strife.
