It is contentment of heart,
That is gained only through,
Not being dismissive,
For that which comes new.

Solidarity it seems,
To be something desired,
But only scattered remains,
Can build a nothing to higher.

Fulfillment it comes,
To those who have paid,
With an emptiness dear,
And a life with dismay.

For one cannot be high,
Unless has been low,
The heart learns to shrink,
So that it can grow.

From only a loss,
Can come forth a gain,
Happiness it will grow,
From what sadness refrains.

When the times of your life,
May seem to be dark,
Remember my friend,
This is from where the light starts.

hopeful, inspiring, uplifting.

very elegant piece. i enjoyed it thoroughly.

:D <3

Awwwwwwww really nice variation on a Quatrain style.
I have always had trouble with this syle and always
Tips me hat to those who succeed at it.
Especially when it is this good.

Talk about bipolar ------ why is that word never used to describe the intriguing opposites? Interesting, very interesting....

Wilga and Unsane:

Thank you both... I read your words more often than I respond and although there is a unique difference between you both, I fully appreciate the genuine and heart felt content...



wench:

Are you callin' me names?

It is only an unbiased detachment from the emotional plane that opposites dwell upon which frees one from their blurred vision... and promotes a balance that facilitates a much clearer and impersonal perspective...

The only name I would call you is that which you yourself came up with, CreativeSoul, for indeed you are.

Very Confucius sounding you are ----- not to be confused with ---well----- confuse-ed-d-d-d.

Got to pay your dues if you wanna sing the blues,
And you know it don't come easy.
You don't have to shout or leap about,
You can even play them easy.

Forget about the past and all your sorrows,
The future won't last,
It will soon be over tomorrow.

-Richard Starkey Jr.
