Opposition in all things

sorenbarrett

To prevent naked strife, balance life

Black of night, white of light, turns gray birth of day

Thorn and rose, pain born, petals close

Welcome rain heart of storm, cold with hot the fulcrum warm

Yellow sun, blue seas making green leaves of trees

Dark of night to see starlight, twisted wrong to make straight right

Evaporating words broken, breaths gratitude to distilled truth spoken

Chained, joyous wings of release, bloody war to see peace

Convicts know what is free, to live, death must be

      As you so rightly say, every good, pleasant phenomenon (all I’m focusing on here) has its antithesis, Soren. And what the world at the moment seems to be experiencing……
      Hell of a rich write once more…
