The Dance Of Opposites Poem by Yasmin Khan
The Dance Of Opposites
The phenomenon of two poles
That lie opposite to each other,
As goodness to evil, body to soul.
Sensual and platonic, two opposites in life
The first is fleshly, the other pure,
The harmony of things, neither scarce nor rife
Silence against the hubbub and tumult,
Sighs and laughter, tears and smiles,
And discernible goes along with occult.
Candor is perceived as there is craft,
Love feels sweet when we think of hatred
Callousness hurts as there is cordial and soft
Beauty is grasped when there is ugliness too,
Sweetness is understood as bitterness exists,
Grace and symmetry versus uncouth and crude.
Hope dances with despair, a glass half empty half full
Success shines bright in the presence of failure
Heights have meaning as nadir too exists.
Day follows the night, moon shines after the sun
Knowledge and ignorance, logic with absurdity
Light and dark go together, without converse there's none.
Massive and fantastic.I enjoyed through and through triplets.
; ; Beauty is grasped when there is ugliness too'' out standing line, love it....10
Beautiful! Nothing can be absolutely good or bad.Polar opposites govern this world.
This is a wonderful dance... the dance of the opposites! Light is made brighter in darkness, beauty shines in ugliness, day is made appealing by the presence of night... An indisputable principle of life! Reading this poem I am reminded of Rabindranath Tagore's lines- Light finds her treasure of colours Through the antagonism of clouds A remarkable poem of great depth! !
Very good observing how the world operates, but when we understand that there is no good and there is no bad, only life experiences, challenges, then it changes the scenery. As you say the very bad can turn into good, and so it goes for the good. When people celebrates for something like winning, then can come a great tragic. That is why I choose the not up and not down attitude, but in a middle level and that is why I am always happy, definitely healthy too. How we think, will come to us, when we learn how to think, that is the real happy time.
Dancing with the wolves and singing with the nightingales.Great combination.Lively.
Nice imagery this dance of the poles. Poem of great beauty. Thank you.
In couples of two He created- the god the world and from that we could know he is the one to be unique and only sufficient to be one/ it's really makes me in touch with purity thanks to share

You are a philosopher also, by seeing the great oppositions in this life. Yes there are, but it is up to us which one we choose: Life or malediction. If we keep our minds even in the midst of problems on beauty, harmony, true happiness, no matter what is happening, in the meantime we face what comes, solving our challenges, eventually goodness and mercy will follow us in all our life. I might repeat my words, but I see life is a school room where we are presented with challenges, nothing is real, everything is a dream, up to where we keep our minds.
