The Dichotomy of Life
“When we have conquered all
there is no life to live
The argument won
with questions unresolved
The clarity of night
the darkness of light
The agony of pleasure
the sweetness of pain
The warm embrace
of a sweet farewell
The happiness of touch
the sadness of distance
Everlasting love
that eventually ends
The tears that we shed
where laughter begins
The strength of vulnerability
the certainty of doubt
The change that remains
when fortunes were spent
When everything is lost
hope still remains
The life you always wanted
but never dared to live
A new beginning
it ends today
And never forget
those you never met”
