Black and White

My husband and I have had multiple 'talks' today. No yelling thank heaven's, but tireing none the less. We are quite opposite in most ways, and we generally balance each other nicely, but now and again, those same differences will drive me to distraction.
after one particually nasty fight a while back I grabbed a notebook and wrote this.


Black & White

Although you live in shades of grey,
there is still black & white,
& although you fight to swim through air,
there is still wrong and right.
You look up and see the night in bits of indigo blue,
I stand by and swear the sky's a much more midnight hue.
I want to dance around, sing loud & sway on the floor,
While you wish to remain still, soft, silent forever more.
Although you claim there's no up and down
only shades of sideways,
I know which way the bubbles flow & will
for all the rest of my days.
Although you dwell betwix the sable black & endless white,
I know in my heart there is hot & there is cold,
there is day & there is night.

may we all endure the heat and sleep well
