Dualism And Rhythm Of Life Poem by Arun Maji

Some memories are pleasant ocean breeze
Often blows with full gusto
With coolness in its womb.
It heals our heart,
Soothes our soul,
Makes us smile
And brings us tears of joy.

And other memories are
Cold wind in cloudy wet winter.
It bites our heart,
Wounds our soul,
And shadows sunshine of hope.

Human pain is pain of memory.
If memory is not there
Much of our pain would not be there.
Human joy is joy of memory too.
If memory is not there
Much of our joy would not be there.

Nothing exists alone.
All exist in pair
Day and night, Good and evil,
Joy and sorrow, light and shadow.
Dualism is
The very essence of existence.
Without shadow
Light is never born.

Human must realize
Everything has a definite purpose.
Even death and disease have purpose.

Without decay and death
How new would be born?
And if new is not born
How this existence would maintain beauty?
And if beauty is not there
How human desire to live would be maintained?
Beauty is the driving force behind our living.
Isn't it?

O human,
Why you resist
What fate brings to you?
Can't you dance to rhythm of life?
