From highest elation, to deepest blue, <br />our emotions ascend and plummet too. <br />Neither one superior, in it's grace <br />within our hearts, they take hold, and embrace. <br /> <br />Sorrow is the herald, of happiness. <br />It's sad song sung, a tune of emptiness <br />Woven through our thoughts, are sweet memories <br />of better days to come, all pain released. <br /> <br />How is it, that we know, the two are one? <br />When one begins and the other is done? <br />No, I think we have seen throughout our years <br />Both sorrow and joy are shades of our tears.<br /><br />Anthony Joseph Erangey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shades-of-our-tears/
