Day and Night
Last night, conflict showed up on my doorstep.
 I quickly pushed drama out the window so they wouldn’t meet.
 I had more than enough to deal with.
 After three hours of fighting, compromise arrived.
 We talked, and compromise convinced conflict to leave.
 I introduced compromise to gratitude, and the two walked out together.
 I thought I was finished until oppression called.
 I tried to fend him off, but he persisted.
 I hung up and cried to compassion, who held my hand.
 Unfairness laughed through the paper-thin walls, and scorn joined him.
 Then love walked in and hugged me tightly.
 My heart relaxed, and I fell asleep.
 The next morning, I woke up slowly.
 As I stared out the window, I saw hope shining in.
 Smiling, I ran out to greet tomorrow.
