The Comfort of Oxymorons

The oxymorons in this story have paradoxes and contradictions which provide comfort.
Master of the Oxymoronic Art

Oxymorons are those words that seem contradictory when taken together in the sentence but can actually be used without contradicting themselves.

A paradox is a statement or argument that seems to be contradictory or to go against common sense, but that is yet perhaps still true — for example, Shakespeare's line from Romeo and Juliet, "Why, then, O brawling love! O loving hate!" —according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary. 

I believe that oxymorons exist in a world with two meanings at once: they have varying degrees of importance and wrap around each other, creating comfort.

This poem is about the comfort that oxymorons provide.
