Life--A Complex Endeavor

Why must life be such a complex endeavor Always pressing in upon the seeking heart Making every day a hard-earned victory, or A resounding defeat, an open or closed door? It is the middle ground we seek, the placidity Smooth flowing pleasures that bring us joy Calmness prevailing in times of bitter feast Words which deliver us to peace and serenity. At the end of every day being able to speak Of the day gone as time well-spent, well-lived, Words of gratitude merited by a good deed Humility earned, not seen a sign of the weak Expecting the best of everyone around us The simple life embracing morality we seek.
