That Is Life

THAT IS LIFE

The transformation of the brightest and biggest full moon Monday
night that mesmerized, delighted me and brought joy to my heart
turned into sadness the next day knowing that my best friend passed.
Memories of her flooded me and when I looked at the sky to brighten
my mood in gazing at the full moon, it was covered with clouds and
I thought to myself, life is really a series of ups and downs, isn’t it?
