Shades of Being

I wear colors of love
and shades of sorrow
the many hues
of experience.

To say I don't do darkness

is to deny the shadows
of what brought me into being,

it is to only pay attention

to the hills basking in the sun
and not the valleys
holding up the lofty heights.

See me as the palette of twilight,

you find beautiful at the end of the day,
for it is within the shades of sorrow
I've found the brighter spots of soul.
