Zen

Frightful courage 
heavenly bad 
pessimistic optimism 
happily sad 
Zen monk buddist priest 
philosophic religion 
pleasantly painful 
colorless prism 
Green colored stop sign 
Oxymoron's twin 
ageless bartender 
with a twist of dry gin 
hopefully hopeless 
Paradise Found 
If a tree falls in the forest
And no one's around
Does it make a sound?
