Coming and Going

To start is to end, To end is to start; Be straight so to bend, To bend to be straight. Truth can fling deep pain, Pain can spur sure proof; Nothing seems in vain, Dare brave life's sure truth. Pain is a vessel, Pleasure hides within; Live beyond hassles, See the truth unseen. All opposites here Paint the pictures well; Shades and tints appear To cast a sure spell. All contrast must show The door to new themes; The urge within flows To swirl and hurl dreams. And if you must ask, The right question brings You to a clear task: To voice a fond spring. Coming is certain, Going is more sad; Open the curtains, Let zest find you glad. Going is like death, Coming hints promise; Life lives simple breath, Tempting with sure tease. Do you see the way The swirl of life lives? Dare to face each day Live just all you give! To come is to go, To go is to come; Grow with open flow, Show spontaneous sum.
