Magnetised
the push and pull
the up and down
the rise and fall
the kiss the slap
the pain the cheer
the deafened ear
the birth the death
tears for us bereft
a prayer a curse
to hurt to heal
lonely days
and hearts grief-stricken

push and pull………….give and take…………and when the love and loved ones are taken away, the grief is so strong. The ups and downs of life…..but saying only “ups and downs” diminishes it so. Your words here give it so much more depth. LOVE the image as well.
