Unity of Opposites

Everything we know

Is built on life and death

The unity of opposites

Working together to form a greater whole

The elaborate exchange 

The intricate give and take

Through which all we know

Everything we've ever touched

Smelled

Tasted

Everything we've seen has thrived

An extravagant chaos

A most beautiful madness

A great poem filled with wise words and correlations to reality. Great work!

I am still reeling from
"Everything we know
Is built on life and death"
so very true, but I don't think I have ever seen it written and summed up that way. Amazing!
Love those last two lines as well. Life does seem as madness all too often. Seems when it appears sane I start to wonder if I'm being realistic! :)
Very interesting and thought provoking.
