On the Horizon

extremes expose

themselves in light

dark hues

I feel a storm brewing

            and  

each rainbow of life

have double meanings

within their aura of

 designated light

one of comedy the other

tragedy

              faces

with traces of fears

and sadness, of joy

and gladness with

interchangeable tears

             of 

laughter and pain

loss and gain

it's written in low clouds

filled with rain

and sun's golden glow

as we live to

  

       face another new day 

                                      or not

Each rainbow, each day we experience a new mood; of of sadness joy, one of tragedy, but the light of hope is always there for us to laugh or cry; its' interchangeable moods that we feel; light and dark hues are the essence of our lives, even if it rains the rainbow will lift our spirits; it's written in the clouds.
Beautiful Fran....

I see this as extremes in life in general, and specifically the mood of us can also be extreme; faces of tears and sadness, joy and gladness, laughter and pain belong to all of us. We are like a rainbow of different hues, changing all the time, just as sun's laughter and repose and the moon's smile and slumber. So, there are dark mood and light moods constantly changing as we change.
Beautifully written Fran.
Best, Betty

lives with eyes see horizons of the future, near and distant...as time moves it all...to see double rainbows and a meaning...in life and its faces of joy and fear...with rhymes that delight the moment to forsake tomorrow's awakening in the mundane discontent...a savory poem...

[Fran Marie]

Thanks Albee..so very much
for your kind words on my
poetry..i appreciate;

[barleygirl]

I love the contrasts of life & your poem feels like a celebration of how one side juxtaposes the other, a natural progression of how life goes, tugging & pushing (((HUGS)))

[Fran Marie]

Thanks Margie..yes; the constant tug
and pull..i s o appreciate you..and you
know how good it truly is to have you
back ..we all missed you..you bring
life back to this* dull * place of lately

[barleygirl]

Thank you for welcoming me back! It's great to see all my friends here again. I've been on other writing sites, but there's nothing like the warmth & personal support that the writers here give other writers (((HUGS)))

every coin has two sides...and every emotion has an opposite.
loss/gain, sunshine/rain.

and yes, a fine line between laughter and pain.
and laughter through the tears is much needed.

I rather have tears of laughter more so
than the tears of pain..thanks Jacob

We dwell in a plane of polarities, opposites lining the hallways of our lives. No way around it unless we can somehow learn to raise our vibrations. The last three lines seem to have an ominous sound. Or am I reading something into it?

[Fran Marie]

Thanks..not really; those lines are a little foreboding..its possible and even probable
well live to see tomorrow but also at the same time there are no guarantees or promises made to any of us;
