It is ...
   the breath of a new day rising,
   the final exhale of a lonely night
   and sharp inhale of hearts enticing

It is ...
   the collision of wants and needs,
   just like two irresistible forces,
   each storms with no idea where it all leads

It is ...
   the both sides to pains unforgot,
   burning memories that have touched the soul
   and possibilities of that have not

It is ...
   black and white,
   in hand,
   you and I ...

   the fear and faith
   of love asking us why

One's outlook can be another's expression.
