Life—A Dubious Pendulum

Life’s pendulum
Swings with time:
Back and forth.
Back and forth.
Back and forth.

Good and bad.
Life and death:
Back and forth,
Back and forth.

Joy and sorrow.
Sunshine and rain:
Back and forth,
Back and forth.

Yes. That’s life.
It never continues
On one course,
But is ever back and forth.
