Two faces profess

Deception

The Lies about tomorrow,
define all truth today

Deceived by joy and sorrow
—all promise gone astray

Joy and Sorrow

Sorrow carves her way deep into our hearts
Joys are easily forgotten along the path
Why is it so hard to forget pain?
So that life’s lesson may not go in vain

A PROMISE TRUE



With every sunset, love renews,
A bond unshaken, tried and true.
Through joy and sorrow, loss and gain,
Together, love, we shall remain.

A Secret Plot

My co-workers, like clowns, are laughing.....
plotting against me; I get an eerie feeling.
I am the nicest fellow,
sharing joy and sorrow;
guys have secrets they shouldn't be telling!

midst joy and sorrow womb to man

          you held me sheltered in your hand

               now to your prince so ne’er to roam

     thru Heaven’s gates … I walk you home.

Synthetic Rain

Joy and sorrow,two Skies,

Down pouring,

Tear rains,

Every drop of tear,

Bears a value like pearls,

The wailers on death,

Inviting synthetic tears,

Enjoy value,

In monetary terms!

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!

This world is full of heartache
An ache that makes the joy
More poignant and real, 
If we only care to notice.

And when we notice
Joy and sorrow dance
A dance that makes it all
Worthwhile.

and that of sorrow

NOTHING LASTS FOR EVER

Unknown to mortals,
is the time to depart.
For it is short but insightful,
It is fast but impactful,
Life,
with them tears and laughs,
joy and sorrow,it is purely finite,
for both the early springs and the grey.

Premium Member Ashes to Ashes

Ashes to ashes

This is the day

Of that reminder..

Two stories leap

One of a missing

Between

The other of 

Beginnings and

Endings and a

Between lived

In joy and sorrow..

These two

Are not two...

Premium Member Wasted Life

Ego agenda
Narrow and futile
Yet in delusion
We are bound therein
Tragicomic life

The wheel of time
Slowly rotates
Joy and sorrow
Cyclically

As a leaf
Blown away
Until death

This life
Wasted 

Gone

Dare do as you say
Upon this highway
Joy and sorrow play
Where plot and cast sway

As fond feelings merge
Word for word flings urge
In a deeper purge
As odd echoes surge

Premium Member A script of joy and sorrow

The self..

Some capitalize to

Self..but it is all

The same self..

Yet it is not the

Self we thought..

The self appears

As story character

Empty and unknown

Beautifully engaged

In a script

of joy and sorrow...

Premium Member Joy and Sorrow Ii

Once,

joy complained to sorrow

for

the misfortunes that brings

in Man's way
 

“If

I was not around my friend” the sorrow replied,

“no one would have ever noticed

your existence”

Love

In laughter and tears,
In joy and sorrow,
I'll be your strength,
I'll be your tomorrow.

With every breath,
With every heartbeat,
I'll cherish our bond,
I'll make it complete.

And till my last day,
Till my last,
I'll hold you close,
Till my life has passed.

DAILY GRATITUDE

I am grateful for every member of my family…every day
for all the friends I’ve made along the way.

for understanding just how far my family extends…
and how my life is so much easier 
when I can share my joy and sorrow…
with my family and friends.

frost on winter roses
mother’s adult bibs arrive
in time for supper

she is bedridden 
ninety first birthday today
both joy and sorrow 

Mom remains stoic
from greatest generation
to funeral plans

Thirty years a nurse
hospice nurses now caring
for her ~ life cycles

Tomorrow Was

Echoes of tomorrow dance around my brain

Songs of joy and sorrow mixed in love and pain

Marriages of feelings swirling intertwined

Promises repeating as waking dreams unwind

A sip of morning coffee to fortify my mind

All casually  forgotten  as I face the daily grind

Graceful, tall grasses A raspberry sun peers through from the purple sky steps ahead of tomorrow to nature's joy and sorrow. Burgundy fever smoking beautiful colors when shadows run wild! Must get one more glimpse of red 'ere sweet dreams enter my head.

Tears

Tears 

When they roll down the cheeks
They help us in being relieved.
Sometimes what the words can't say
They take only a second to convey..
They are both for joy and sorrow
Can't be stolen or borrowed.
They come from the depth of the heart
When someone is torn or broken apart...
