The Tightrope of Life

Enlightenment,hope and harmony
What they are to me
Without one,you will never obtain the other two
Of these life balancing three

Living your life in harmony
Fills your heart with hope
Through hope you gain enlightenment
As you prepare to cross life's tightrope

You hope to reach the other side
As you take each step in harmony
Reaching the other side you will gain enlightenment
With the proper balancing of all three

Laura Breidenthal Date: 8/1/2013 9:45:00 PM Cool cool cool. I like a lot. I thought of this poem in a musical sort of way. Harmony is nice, but the sound of dissonance can , for some people be appealing. I think harmony is fulsome. Dissonance, or chaos--the stuff that some people feed upon is often appealing..but NEVER fulfilling...harmony feels so great. I am at peace with this write. Always, Laura Login to Reply

Login to Reply Demetrios Trifiatis Date: 5/30/2013 7:23:00 AM You asked me about enlightenment and the only thing I have to say is that I am on its path for over forty years and still find myself at the starting line, although academic achievements are there still I linger behind my goal!
