If I could not laugh heartily
Then I would surely cry
If I could not live fully
I most certainly would die
If life were not mysterious
Each day would be mundane
And weep itself to sleep
In rhythmic sounds of summer rain
If I didn’t look, I wouldn’t observe
The rise of autumn geese
Nor sit by winter windows
In profound and silent peace
If there were not adversity
To spark the soul to fight
My flame would snuff itself in ways
No passion could ignite
If I had not once stepped into
Life’s bitter dark abyss
Then I would not be prone to write
A poem such as this
Please tell me what you think

I love you cinara, litterally! Your words are one of the things that makes my life! Without people like you to give reason to "life's bitter dark abyss", this poem for everyone to read, I'd be left in constant apathy.
