Happiness and Sorrow from immemorial time Have been two sides of the same coin Manifesting the qualities of each within The dividing line is very thin
The mind perceives them to be the same From the depths of the heart they both came While one skips in gleeful delight The other walks in stumbling fright
They face each other in a battle unkind Each is born with an effort of the mind One shimmers in the general plan of life The other distorts the clarity of strife
They are in conflict on an emotional plane The tools are different the destination same To express they are both made Let go of them is Life's debt paid
