Life shouldn't be rated
beyond what it's not
beautiful parts there are
but not all are to be celebrated
that which is deemed wise
lies in juxtaposition with the absurd
laughter is conjoined with tears
worries often appear in a horde-
in the web of time, restless and intricate
frequent fevers are inevitably caught
beauty and ugliness fiercely struggle
to regain their desired spot:
life shouldn't be held
as certainty---such it's not-
each of us bears our own cross
and we ache silently in heart and thought
