Come praise the stars, the wind, the rain
That course the earth; come praise the pain
And pleasure that the years bring forth:
Praise every particle of the Universe.
Doubt denials of the flame
Which courses through the hearts of men:
The ones who lose, the ones who win,
Are indistiguishable, in the end.
The wretched and the fortunate
Will join each other in the dark
Those who were wrong, those who were right
Will join each other in the Light.
Light and Dark will alternate
Eternally: this is man's fate.
Come, laugh; come, commiserate.
Dance your day, and sing your night.

Stunning piece of prose, first of yours to read and it does not disappoint - far from it - most magnificent! HG: -) xx
A very lovely spiritual poem, the good and the bad, different faces to the same coin of life. Uriah
Wow, amazing write... one of the best I've read on poemhunter! Brilliantly composed and superbly worded! Very, very 'cool.' Brian
This one reminds me of an old Hymn... Very beautiful... and, I'm cool with that! My Best CJ
Well articulated and nicely penned in good rhyme scheme with conviction. Thanks for sharing, Will.
A message of acceptance and responsibility. A hymn of praise and affirmation of life. Very wise and balanced composition. It was a message I needed to hear. I wish I could feel the same way.
Couldn't have been written better. Beautiful piece which explains all. Your message is received and understood. Over and out. Love and hugs Ernestine XXX
