Harmony of Contrasts
In the midst of joy, sorrow's embrace,
Where laughter echoes, tears trace.
In every grin, a covert annoy,
Sorrow's embrace, in the midst of joy.
Youthful nerve, age's serene gaze,
Energetic mornings, tranquil days.
With each new dawn, old sunsets curve,
Age's serene gaze, youthful nerve.
Simplicity's sigh, complexity's roar,
Quiet streams, oceans that beseech more.
In every silence, a storm is nigh,
Complexity's roar, simplicity's sigh.

Note: Through this poem, I have tried to explore the theme of duality and the coexistence of opposing forces in life. I have woven together themes of joy and sorrow, youth and age, simplicity and complexity. We can always find harmony by embracing life's contradictions.
