Cozy Contemplations
Chapter 18 Ode to Sarcasm and Faith
Sarcasm is our friend
Using sharp words to rend
And tear flesh from the bone
While using that biting tone
Humor can help get us through
Emotions colored red and blue
A last defense against pain
When life makes it hard to stay sane
The irony may be lost on those few
But mostly they share in it too
Good wit is not meant to be cruel
Nor should it brand someone a fool
It is sophisticated and freeing
To point out what someone’s not seeing
A way to make light of life
Laughter on the blade of a knife
Some of us wrap ourselves in it
A defensive cloak from our kit
A way to push back our sadness
And reduce the effects of the madness
An art form most of us use
Often a way to defuse
When mirth is what’s most required
To keep us from getting mired
So let’s keep on being clever
And if you think me crazy…. Whatever
Faith
Blessings come when they come
Could be simply little battles won
Or a gesture we can deem as kind
Giving us needed peace of mind
There is no reason, there is no rhyme
But keep the faith they will come with time
