Living Extremes Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Living Extremes



Learning lessons from every aspect we live through on earth,
keeping to ourselves in grief and loss, yet rejoicing when
with others filled with happiness and hope.

Living both extremes throughout life, never knowing which
one will happen or how, always being struck by sorrow and
sadness when those we love dearly are taken by death.

Celebrating their lives with tears of love, we find it's
difficult to get back into the life we are supposed to
live, even though they'll never be with us again.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

This, dear RoseAnn, is a courageous poem, because It admits to and is bewildered by the irreducible sadness of human life, even a Christian human life. Your subsequent poem (which I read first) ENLIGHTENMENT OF FAITH looks backward at life from the perspective of the Life Eternal, but this poem looks forward into the future of a life yet to be lived and redeemed. This is the situation of Jesus at the Wedding at Cana where he performed his first miracle and looked down the path of his public ministry for the three (?) years.
