Life and Love Quote

Life and Love follow patterns of their own,
there’s never only darkness, but there’s never only light,
flames burn more brightly in any given gloom,
there’s the spark of the other in everything we feel.

Grief contains a mote of hope,
joy is flecked with the fear that joy will pass,
and happiness shines in the shadow of its opposite.

We give, we receive, we steal, we share,
we laugh together to keep the beasts at bay,
because we are formidable and small,
we are valiant and fragile,
we are frail and invincible,
and we’re only human.
