When Joy came to live with Despair
They birthed a bittersweet lamb
(Imagine naming your daughter Despair
Or Joy who turned out to be a boy)
But it was then they realized
They really were gods and
What it felt like to be helpless
Right away they recognized
Their awesome power and reconciled
Though they couldn't live together
They would raise their child
As equal partners filling her head
With light and darkness love and loss
Until she could speak her own night
And day and go her own immortal way
