Oh discord where do you reside? <br />Why choose this heart to hide <br />and ring your cracked bell <br />with crooked clapper <br />that hits the silence with a ringing <br />of fraught hands. <br /> <br />Oh why choose to stay here <br />did I invite you in in? <br />You say I did <br />and that I was most keen! <br /> <br />But now I feel my heart will burst <br />with fragments of sound <br />full of doubts that so unsure <br />lead me to darkest shores. <br /> <br />Discord please go <br />and leave sweet harmony behind. <br />What is that you say? <br />It is harmony I strive for <br />only through knowledge of you! <br /> <br />And without discord <br />where is strife <br />but consumed in harmony. <br />How did I forget, <br />and why argue?<br /><br />David Taylor<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/striving-for-harmony/
