Diametrically opposed

Diametrically opposed.

Life and death,
Diametrically opposed,
Paradoxically parallel,
In unusual relay,
One takes the baton from the other,
Yet in parallel they run,
Death is recycled to life,
From the ashes of the finite,
The infinite is born,
The grand ephemeral elusive eternity.

  1. It's as simple as that! Knowing this simple reality helps us bring more meaning to our lives. The idea that we live so we can die and that the ultimate outcome of life is death. Good perspective, petit frere!
