Painting-Poesy #3

Today, a slightly emotionally tough day, 
The first choice was always the dark side of the palatte. 
The conscious effort to choose lighter shades
Does not mean that sorrow fades,
But the end result indicates
There is light that might yet hold sway. 
In the darkest hours, the silver lining
Is not the cloud's rim, but faith in our hearts shining.

May like free birds we all fly high,
May like nature's bounty we all give joy. 
After every summer there is rain
After every winter, spring's upon us again. 
No cycle has no downside, 
No sorrow has no upside.

A friend's post reminded me of Bel Kaufman, 
"Up the Down Staircase" peppered with many a gem.
Another had earlier sent me delightful Ted Chiang's Arrival,
A third had just called to talk things trivial,
Each a signpost reminding me
Life is not all gloom and misery.
Chin up, cheer is near,
Just welcome it when you its arrival hear. :)
