Joy and Sorrow

JOY AND SORROW*



Joy and sorrow,
Over 
The tempestuous seas of  
Tears,
Endlessly navigate!

 *When we jump for joy, we cry!
   When we sorrowful are, we cry!

Fine the line twixt joy and sorrow. I'm at a loss to articulate it accurately, thus I'm quoting one of my favorite authors, Gibran: “The selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with tears.” You've pinned it down to a T, my insightful friend and fave poet. Licia :-)
