THE FABRIC OF OPPOSITES

 

S. Samal

 

Life

 

is a fabric

of opposites

binary and antithesis

a fascinating conundrum

and puzzling delight.

 

Sorrow

shuffled with joy

success with failure

dream with reality

pain pleasure

hope despair

smile tears

 

calm commotion

anger content

 

the more you cogitate

the greater you are lost

and baffled,

 

better live

like a simple peasant

or sprightly squirrel

than a foolish

wizoned philosopher
