Life is Not Black and White

I frown as I see the empty vast sky,
Starless, moon-free and pitch-black,
Ready to suck anything away,
Ready to consume all the light.
I suppress a sigh, it will not be dark forever.


The universe is made up of different hues and shades.
It's not all black, it's not all happy colors.
But life is not black and white.
It is sometimes dull and gray,
Mostly bright and happy.


The stars are shining as I look up again.
The brighter days are coming, they say.
I beam at them and they dismissed me with a twinkle.
Yes, there are brighter days, I tell myself,
And they are coming.
