Perhaps opposites
Can exist in harmony.
Life is quite diverse.
Perhaps opposites
Can exist in harmony.
Life is quite diverse.
For every valley, deep and dark,
A flame of glee begins to spark.
When we cry out from mountain tops,
A time will come when feasting stops.
Do not ask “why” of suffering;
Don’t to despair or brightness cling.
Shadows fall and light will rise.
It’s all laid out before your eyes.
Life is not life without its seasons,
And darkness has no deeper reasons
Than to balance out the light.
So keep the longer view in sight.
What now is will soon be past.
Embrace the moment while it lasts.
It’s not about the fist or fight,
Nor the chance to flaunt your might.
The moves are just a third the art,
Besides the mind and spirit part.
Cultivating peace within,
Our training can at last begin.
Harmony must be the end;
All right acts on this depend.
