I weep, <br /> At Life's transitorness, <br /> Its impermenance, <br /> And elusiveness. <br /> <br />I rejoice, <br /> In its beauty and splendor, <br /> Balance and precision. <br /> <br />I am awed <br /> By its majesty, <br /> Might and fury. <br /> <br />Its fragility, <br /> Its tenacity and persistence <br /> Simplicity and complexity <br /> All at the same time. <br /> <br />I marvel, <br />At the joyful blooming of fresh life <br />Amidst death and destruction. <br /> <br />I wonder, <br /> At Nature's pinnacle of glory. <br /> Man <br /> A complex bundle - both Divine and Demon? <br /> -O-<br /><br />Anita Sehgal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/many-faces-of-duality/
