Joined by bonds of timeless strands,
Joy married his bride Sorrow.
Deepening perspectives Sorrow paved,
The way; for overwhelming feel of Joy.
Indispensable pair thus cruised along,
Romancing in mortals’ sea of life.
Seeds died; saplings sprouted brought,
Harvest of golden grains to empty barns.
Dying to rise afresh with a new start,
Soaring spirit flew beyond mountain peaks.
Life and Death thus naughty siblings sang,
In an octave of philosophical magnitude.
Wailing hearts sighed, pain down toned,
As tearful pearls fell from string askew.
Laughter then tinkled in sounds of glee,
Synchronous with joy smiling deep within.
Intensity decisive in game of cubes,
Tears and Laughter played their dice.
Storms mighty tossed ships in seas,
Water possessed by devil’s paws.
Orange sun hovered over waters still,
Clearing skies, painting dreamy hues.
Noise and darkness said hope was there,
For silence and light to reign again.
Failures taught men how to strive,
To hunt high nested success down.
Joy and sorrow jiving to life’s songs,
Taught to cherish, with strength and ease.
‘Tis thus a fine true worldly norm,
Every element is void, without its other half.

"Every element is void, without its other half. "
Wonderful thought!!! Looks like something has happened to you that made you think about the antithesis of life. This line is the true and real END every poem must have. A summary of the poem in the last line!!! Keep on writing!!!! Your writings keep me dreaming!!!!
this is so true!!...we need both sides to survive...else neither will have an identity..

A true and thoughtful write. Reminds me Gibran's lines on a similar topic....
Together they come, and when one sits alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed
A very relevant and inspiring lesson this teaches Wandering gypsy. Nothing is complete without its complement, its other half.
Perfect execution..the last stanza takes the cake. Gud read.
Laughter then tinkled in sounds of glee,
I liked the onomatoepoeia effect ..
