This was a nice and easy poem to read. It reminded me of the need for the joy and pain to mix together and form a mosaic of life. Those were beautiful words. Sometimes, I look back and realize what I thought was pain was the opportunity to grow and see life differently. It was a necessary part of becoming a more complete person.
Listen.
Hear the silence
softly sweeping
the night’s mysteries
into the embrace of time.
Like strands of pearls
the moments of joy
and the moments of pain
are silently joined together
to become the colorful mosaic
of each life
and of all humankind.
Listen.
And you will know.
