The Eternal Chase Poem by Anita Atina
The Eternal Chase
The Eternal Chase
Why must everything beautiful
Be so difficult to attain - the subject of an eternal chase
Day chases night to win her over
And night waits for day, for their daily dalliance
The moon longs for the sun
As much as the sun lusts for the moon
Man must climb an arduous mountain
For a glorious view from above
A rose with thorns beckons, as much as
The independent beauty of the lotus in a dirty pond
The pursuit of happiness
Leads through so much pain
The joys of success
Are sweetened by the chase
Agony and ecstacy
Both do love deliver
And its only after long, lonesome, meandering travels
That the soul learns the journey and the destination are one
What a beautifully constructed and presented piece of writing this is. The presentation of philosophy is not easily digested but it is served here with the herbs and spices the make its flavor tasteful and its meaning a wonder to behold. GW62
All beautiful are forbidden fruits......... But lucky are those who seek the roots good poem.............
Very thoughtful and insightful poem, Anita. We can't have happiness unless we've experienced sadness to compare it with. The arduous trek up the mountain is rewarded by a stunning view and an easier trip back down. Things balance out in the long run. Nice poem.
