We come into your life with many ups and downs;
Through the calmness and strife, we bring smiles and frowns
We are your constant companions, thick as thieves, through thick and thin
Through the valleys and mountains, sometimes you loose; but as long as you breath, always you win
We are the sunshine that puts a bright smile upon your face;
But we are also the rain that can snatch it all away – both in grace.
Some say it’s not about wining or loosing, but how one plays the game
Learn to embrace your winnings; yet live with the losses without going insane
Be thankful and learn from the darkness, for until you do
You may find more of the same darkness will surely come to you
The bitter-sweetness of our existence has made many men wonder
Yet without our zestful spirit; there would be no need to ponder
Imagine the bordom and ennui without our existence
Life’s challenges and chances would cease without our essense
Do you not realize that we are one – we always travel hand and hand, together
We both were with you when your spirit turned human – and will be with you forever
When you’re on top of the clouds or swimming in the deepest depths of the dark seas
Either of us can open your door of challenge or opportunity – but only You hold the keys
For we always travel as a pair; forever married are we;
Perhaps you know us personally, we are Agony and Ecstasy – Agecstany

all what u listed in dichotomous form build chracter
Wherever I walk
Whenever I turn
I see you each on both sides of the road
I feel a starting adrenaline
I feel a cry coming
I feel…I feel you both
How can I ever forget?
That faces of yours
As I walk down the road
Yours I saw at my sides
following, following me
What Life is without you two
Anyway?
A plain, smooth, empty sailing
I’d say
But thanks to you
I can take detours
to avoid you if I can
Because married are you two
where there is one, there is the other
Oh my dear Agecstany
My, oh my
How can I say I love you
when I hate you too?
P/S: The photo is so full of Life =]
@Glaize. Cool! Thanks for the harmony – so deep! Your contribution brings forth deepness and feeling to the verse. I see you’ve met the devoted couple too. PLL to you dear Glaize! CordieB.
@rawdawgb. Thanks for the energy dawg; and thanks for the new word too! “dichotomous” I’m afraid to find out its meaning. LOL. PLL, CordieB.

Brilliantly said my friend, one can not have the one without the other for we would never be able to tell the difference if it were so, sadly. Great post, both thought provoking and heartfelt, thanks you!
“Be thankful and learn from the darkness, for until you do

A succinct expression of a concept that is foreign to far too many. Ignorance of the darkness is far from bliss. The necessary reconciliation of the two is the route to understanding our Earthly role.
