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
