sorrow, and joy, all intertwined


 tears just below my surface


my tears are always at the ready,

for life itself has much of tragedy within it,

sorrow should always call to all of us,


I am such an optimist, though,

that the joy behind the sorrow

also shouts at me,

while the tears, too, whisper their truths.
