A person maintains a balance of feeling <br />Some are destructive others giving healing <br />Some give great joy whereas others are sad <br />They can be good or painful and bad <br />A balance of life is there for us all <br />As we rise joyfully high then to depths we fall <br />We have these two huge extremes <br />To appreciate the opposite to me it seems <br />If we were never filled with good light <br />When the darkness falls we'd not fight <br />Opposites are always there and always kept <br />We've all experienced joy then to have wept <br />So next time it seems again all is sadly lost <br />And life's meaning and purpose has been tossed <br />Remember though bad the opposite's still near <br />Keep trying have faith and good will appear<br /><br />Micron<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/balance-of-life-good-and-bad/
