Antithesis
Both the beginning and ending at once
A fractured peace of tears and smiles
The love for and loathing of self
A shattered mirror no more than glass
Life swore a vow and broke it
A curse of despair and hope
Nothing will change if not changed
The paradox of existence
The temerity of the desperate and hopeful
Tasting the inevitable and looking to the sunrise
Breath’s inspiration and expiration
Suspirations of joy and sorrow
The hopeless are the helpless
Nothing remains for them but ashes and dust
A figment in the endless revolution of day and night
That we are more than fleeting
