"What Kind of Life?"––poem by Dorothy
What Kind of Life?
What kind of life
is this?
Moments of infinite
bliss,
episodes of panic
and pain.
Always a pendulum swinging,
like a yearly earth cycle of
death and renewal,
despair and joy.
The spirit must be
shaped and remolded
again and again,
like a flower that withers
and blooms,
rises and descends
in a constant round,
always pushing upward,
striving for sun.
Dorothy Walters
