May I place side by side your newfound tranquility,

Emerging like a vibrant forest with untamed ability,

Discovering vague significance in the treasury of belief,

While you descend into the depths of grief.

Yes, I'll glide akin to a diligent honeybee,

Gathering essence from your emotional sea,

(As if you're a fading blossom, frail and frail,)

Then ascending into the sky's grand trail.

Oh, enigmatic part, both sorrow and elation in one slice,

I might never grasp entirely the reason and the price,

Why one imbibes raindrops from heavens high,

So the other can mend and dry.

As if each existence bears a toll of delight,

And together we file to meet that height,

Journeying distantly yet on the same path's bend—

Does this load persist without end?

Surely, moments will arrive when I'm far from well,

And akin to a solemn tolling bell,

You'll perceive vanishing muses swell,

This dual nature feels unjust as well.
