The darkness  The light

of hardship.   of our love.

The weight   Our hearts soaring

of grief.     high above.

I thought   Now I know

life was dark.  life is bright.

But you can’t see the stars unless you have the night.

I've been struggling with the idea for ages; to try and write a poem with something resembling musical counterpoint in it. I don't think I've really managed it yet but I'm very glad that you liked it and were able to read it. Thanks, Alvin.

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

This is really interesting, neatly and intriguingly provoking thought. Must come back to it! Rhiannon
