I'M Cool With That Poem by Will Barber

I'M Cool With That

Rating: 5.0


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.

A very lovely spiritual poem, the good and the bad, different faces to the same coin of life. Uriah

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.
