Sometimes...

Sometimes an atheist can inspire a believer to have faith.
Sometimes a believer can show a non-believer how to be good.
Sometimes a good man can do bad things.
Sometimes bad things can lead to fortuitous consequences.

Sometimes there is lightness in dark and darkness in light.
Sometimes darkness has a light of its own.
Sometimes I’m not sure if it’s the rainbow which has been crying
or the clouds.

Sometimes a good friend can be a great friend.
Sometimes a teacher can be a mentor.
Sometimes a lover’s candle can keep you warm and in light
for years after they are gone.

Sometimes you love so much it hurts.
Sometimes you laugh so hard there’s pain.
Sometimes you smile so wide
you think you might never smile again.

Sometimes mornings feel like treachery.
Sometimes the nights feel like deceit.
Sometimes life feels like the perfect purchase.
Sometimes you don’t need a receipt.
