Tragically Ironic

She stumbles from the needle,
on life's ugly, jagged edge;
yet with gracefulness and beauty,
she leaps out from the ledge.

Indeed, this is tragic, Arlene. The contrast between the initial pain and its eventual release comes out very clear. Regards // paul

So very dark and sad Arlene. You have created this sorrowed scene perfectly with your words.
