As They Creep

As joy and sorrow creep in my life
I contemplate the dark
And it comes to me – a deep and twisting thing
Full of shadows and light

If you’re never confronted with sorrow
Joy becomes soft edged –
Taken for granted like the very air you breathe
Never thought of until gone

As joy and sorrow slide together in my life
I take a moment to breathe
And all the world seems both vibrant and scary
And I think of the pain

And then I think of the happiness as well
And somewhere in the shadows
That my life has somehow become – I raise my head
And greet them as they come

Challenge Phrase:
(used twice)
As joy and sorrow creep in my life
As joy and sorrow slide together in my life
