Constance La France Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

Of Yang and Ying

 
Is life an ever fight of yang and ying ?
a path of desire and aversion
of love, lust, passion and of repulsion
and do we have to choose with everything ?
I wish that want and craving could just cling.
When faced with disgust I seek conversion,
hate sends me on a silent excursion.
Can the way be_  let go of things that sting ?

Desire, loath, crave, dread, devotion, dislike
when ugly turmoil roars I take a hike,
and when rapture whispers my soul will purr _ 
In my life garden only flowers grow,
I breathe a breath, relax and take life slow
and all hostility fades to a blur.
