Neutrality is the balance <br />between bad and good <br />life is water... <br />a balance between good and bad, <br />we all must drink the water of life! <br /> <br />Depth from depth <br />..the pain <br />length from length <br />..the struggle <br />mile to mile <br />.. the frustration <br />a bitter taste <br />a rotten smell <br />a water we must drink <br />yet a water needed for survival <br /> <br />Height to height <br />..the pleasure <br />reach to reach <br />..the satisfaction <br />bredth to bredth <br />..the joy <br />a sweet taste <br />a fresh smell <br />a water we must drink <br />a water oh so sweet for survival <br /> <br />Waters of success <br />sweet to the mouth <br />a reward to the soul <br />the waters of life <br />a journey of thirst <br />a well of plenty <br /> <br />Waters of failure <br />bitter to the mouth <br />a teacher to the listening soul <br />the river of death <br />the most bitter water of all <br />yet a water we must all drink <br />... to satisfaction <br /> <br />The river runs black and rough <br />to the uncertain end <br />but certain finish <br />where taste is empty <br />smell is neutral <br />and realisation is simple, <br />where all find and embrace, <br />a moment of peace.<br /><br />Allen Steble<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/we-all-must-drink-the-water-of-life/
