BitterSweet

There’s love and there’s loss

There’s him and there’s her

There’s young and there’s old

There’s sun and there’s blur.

We fight and retreat

We run and walk

We smile and cry

We shout and talk.

Confused yet clear

Happy yet sad

Awake yet asleep

Good yet bad.

We attempt to balance

We attempt to maintain

We attempt to focus

But we lose it to strain.

Tragedy unfolds

Celebration prevails

Hurt lingers

While excitement sails.

Acceptance

Loss

Hope

Remembrance .

One day to the next

One moment to the other

One hour is gone

Yet we’re on to another.

Bitter is sweet

Sweet is bitter

Life is both

And we are neither…
