In Light of All Things

The World is

Lost.
Broken.
Hurt.
Typhoons.
Earthquakes.
Wars.

Life is full of
Inconsistencies.
Unavailabilities.
Surprise Endings.
Poverty.
Global Warming.
Death.

This isn't a depressed poem.

Despite those things
there are

friends -
support, love, sleepless nights of laughter, movies, food, and safe-use of alcohol.

hot chocolate - warmth, comfort, chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate, and whipped cream with marshmallows.

lovers -
love, comfort, sleepless nights of distractions, cuddles, spoons, and a dance partner for the nights out when friends and alcohol are main components of the equation.

books -
physicality of ingeniousness (or epic fail), otherworldly, understanding, devotion, even better when cuddled up with friends, a lover, and hot chocolate.

In other words
in light of all things

it's not too bad.
