Everything in Life has its opposite which comesA
full circle throughout TimeB
-
For all the Love given and received you will hateC
and be hated as much Though you don't wish itD
to be so it will occur nonethelessE
-
For all the sorrow and regret you feel during yourF
years you will be isolated by your happiness andG
immune to loss Though you wish to know whyH
it is so it will escape your reasoningI
-
You will make and keep many friends throughoutJ
your journey and have others say enemy andG
slander your name behind your backK
-
Remember that true friends are kept by brutalL
honesty and enemies are maintained by fear ofM
true self they can't understand or obtainN
-
You will be praised and exalted as well as shunnedG
and ignored No matter what others say about youO
it will only matter if you allow it so be yourselfP
-
You will know great health and unbearable sicknessQ
wealth and poverty good luck and bad FeastR
and famine May you live long enough to experienceS
it all Live and learn that's the keyT
-
There will be moments of bare existence when everythingI
whirls past and you hang on for a simple breath ThoughU
you want the World to stop it will spin on and continueO
to do so long after you are goneV
-
As All are born one day we shall die completing theW
Circle Don't focus too much on the details It's onlyT
Life so enjoy it as it unfoldsX
-
You are part of the Mysterious Play intertwined withY
all actors awaiting the movement of the Quill to markZ
down TimeB
