Juxtaposition

Sunset

golden purple

stained with crimson stars

splashed with midnight paint

angels and demons

dancing together

war and peace.

Many breathe

corruption and perfidy

justifying their negligence

while bowing down

and praying for forgiveness.

Many breathe

honor and harmony

obscured by chaos

while standing tall

and refusing all cruelty.

Not all angels wear halos

Not all demons wear horns

Not all praise our Lord

Not all disavow the Devil

sometimes we confuse the two

because of words spoken.

A Good Day

It strikes me as so odd;

I can tell varying degrees of how my mood has changed.

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday I was oh so sad.

Medication bumped up by an extra 150 mg.

Wednesday I was able to discern that I was happier. Had a small blip on the happiness radar but I recovered.

Today is Thursday, and although I still want to hide away, selfishly taking an entire day as a me day (I am off) I am able to tell yet again, that my happiness level has risen and my sadness level has lowered.

It is going to be a good day.
