Polarities and Paradoxes In Nature

POLARITIES AND PARADOXES IN NATURE

     Rose allures in beauty and fragrance,
                                     yet fair chance
      of getting hurt by thorns pricking.
       Charm and pain claiming parallel.
                                       Paradoxical.
                                     
      Lotus blooms in muddy pond.
                  Admirer to respond.
     Clay dirty and petal pretty with whelming beauty;  
                                                Opposite polarity.
                                      
     Swarm of frolic fish swimming vibrant,
                                      quite ignorant.
      Any time turning victim: An anomaly
      Prey and predator running parallel
                                         Paradoxical.
                                      
       Jovial life ends in morose death.
       Beauty and beast simultaneous breath.
       Greed and need: Sacrifice and malice                                                                     
      Love and hatred: Loyalty and betrayal
                                     cycling parallel: 
                                      Paradoxical.
