Falling can be beautiful
In rain
In autumn leaves
In snow
In love I suppose
But falling can also be
Scary
Destructive
Ugly
Most things in life
Are that way
Dynamically opposed
Good
Bad
Beautiful
Ugly
Love
Hate
And they are also
Frighteningly
The same
What makes it so
The thought
Or the feeling
Can one exist without the other
Can we hold a thought
Without experiencing a feeling
Can we experience a feeling
Without having a thought
Can we love without hating
If there is no ugliness
How would we recognize beauty
Does good exist
Because evil fights to prevail
Is pondering such things
A waste of mind
Or
A profound expenditure of time
