How sweet and sour the soul

On whose weariness takes its toll

Yet onward marching we go

Carrying within us hearts full.

Gratitude and doubt interwoven

Thread of sorrows softly spoken

Spooling out into a life unfolding

Stitched together with soul awoken.

In each dichotomy lies a clue

Find the harmony between two

From this tension song will spring

Revealing to all both sides of you.
