Contrasts

Would we be able to see the good

if no evil ever existed,

if we couldn't even compare

and the difference never contrasted?

If the sun always shone

with its never ending light,

would we bask in its glowing warmth

and never miss the night?

If the night time arrived

and never went away,

would we party under the stars

and never miss the day?

One without the other,

neither would be as bright,

be it those golden sunshine rays

or stars perched in the night.

Without the broken heart

would love we even see,

would we even know the difference

if no pain there was to be.

Would we ever appreciate the good times

if no bad ones were ever there,

would we even know the difference

or would we even care?

I really enjoyed this poem. Its message closly ressembles one of my earlier works titles "Polarities." Good job...
