Our radiant, beaming, delightful sky
Releasing the passion hidden inside
Bursts of laughter beneath those blossom trees
Breathe that cool summer breeze of life’s sheer bliss
Sunshine is shining, rays warm to the touch
Fresh and ready to assume happiness
For each light, there is a dark gloomy shade
Shadows swallow you with the cloudy rain
Pain surrounding you like sooty black air
gasping to breathe, in dispare for relief
Feeling fearful, can you survive this storm
Much self doubt, will you fail to make it out
For each light and shade there’s a lighter grey
No sun and no rain, no deep darkest day
No matter how bad life may seem to be
Its vital to take light in with the shade
Cherish the sun as you’v lived through the rain
Breathe in the love and exhale with the pain

- Comment from author about the poem: Life’s an uphil challenge, so many dark days, but they are there to test you. Make you stronger. To be better. To appreciate the good when it’s here, to not take for granted our loved ones. The pain grounds us and pushes us, to thrive and be the best we can be. Letting the bad in with the good is what’s needed to move forward.

Thanks for sharing MAXINE ~ Love your photo and the lip stud ! Looks like a perfect Beauty Spot and I'm sure it makes your kisses memorable ! I like the structure of the Poem ~ Balanced and separated couplets give it elegance and flow ~ nice to read and even more lovely to recite ! Love the Light & Shade in the poem expressing "Life as it is experienced" I like that you have used different structures in your couplets ~ BLANK VERSE (1 3 4 8) END RHYME (7 9) and INTERNAL RHYME (2 5 6) ! This makes it a Classic and improves the Rhythm & Flow . Thanks for sharing a GEM ~ Hugs BRIAN !
Oh wow what a lovely response. Thank you so much, was really nervous about this one. Thank you so much for your help too - your a poetic genius.
Beautiful poem! I especially love the last couplet--to be sure, the last line. It's so true! Thanks for sharing your poetry with us! Great pic!
Thank you Christina, really appreciate your feedback.
A dazzling write Maxine - well, that yellow is anyway. Can't see a thing now! heehee. ooh.
Haha blinded with Sunshine ☀️
ah, it's the love of light that keeps the flame alight and enjoys the merry-go-round-of-life so much. I love your adoration of writing such a beautiful poem. As toward the dark bits of life there appears a perpetual motion of both the shadier side to life and the brighter side alike. they have opposite effects and you have covered that really well. This is an eye catcher, just like your photo. good work!
Thank you so much Kevin, really appreciate your feedback, very glad you like it.
Such good advice in this admirable verse with its dark-light comparisons for readers to think on - I love that final couplet - well done.
Thank you so much Fay.
sweet words of love
Thank you Ron.

Very good write, we all have dark days but as long as we can see the light we have something for which to aim.
Exactly, thank you Gold.
