Tonight is surreal

because tonight I mourn a death
and celebrate a birth.

I mourn the loss of a family friend, a man only in his 40's. I ache for his wife, their 3 children

and I head to the hospital for the birth of a beautiful baby girl. The first-born of my dear friends.

In these moments- the held breath, while the trapezist is suspended midair grasping nothing- the world is an entirely different place.
