Victory and Defeat
Victory and defeat
have the same end -
they pass away.
Bitterness dissolves
as does the sweet taste
salivated in a triumphant win.
Joy shares the same mystery
with suffering when
confronted by a why.
Civilizations come and go -
kings, queens and politicians
become powder in the crevices
of time. Be kind -
all is a brief dream
playing out in the eternal
slumbers of the Divine.
