Contrast- Life


Our white and black- their muted grays,
   that paint life's picture through our days;
the good and bad- all in between,
   makes life's true shade- a blended scene.

Bright whites expand with pristine joy
   as rays of sunshine fast employ,
uplifting feelings in the heart
   where hopeful dreams will always start.

But then- the dreary, blackened skies
   with thunder clouds that bring sad sighs,
contrast with joys to blot their glow;
   adjusting with a shadowed show.

Life is a contrast- birth and death;
   and in between, with every breath-
our black and white- their grays, all blend
   to paint a life we comprehend.
