A clear blue sky
Lacks definition.
Without a dark night,
For a bright day
There is no appreciation.
Without its spots
Moon won’t be as beautiful,
Road lacking few road bumps,
Journey is uneventful.
A blemish free life
There is no story to tell,
Without the past of Jean Valjean
Les Misérables won’t ring a bell.
Calm sea hides
Deep secrets in its bosom,
Vibrant nature in a moment
Wrecks havoc and destruction.
A world at peace,
Will it be boring?
Thought of violence
To appreciate peace,
It is depressing.
Even without appreciation
Rose will still bloom,
Even if no one looks
Beauty is not doomed.
A bipolar world
May be the norm,
Not an aberration.
Life is a saga
Full of contradictions.
Fleeting Muse 
Life’s memorable moments are never the smooth easy ones, the events that went off without a hitch, the trains and planes that were on time. We need tribulations in order to appreciate life’s blessings. 🙂

Wise and true words, so beautifully written. It is sad that we need demons of violence and other evils to learn to appreciate the real values of life. Thank God there are poets like you that remind us of Truth and Beauty. Thank you so much for sharing such a delightful poem.
