Poles Apart

Life seems easy when things go right;
Harder when things go wrong.
Smoother when sleep lasts through the night;
Rougher when nights are long.

Answers come quickly when all is okay;
Slower when thoughts are captive.
Positive attitude when come what may;
Negative thoughts when less active.

Energy abundant when life is in gear;
Lethargic when things are in neutral.
Hopeful when answers appear to be near;
Distant when thoughts are more doleful.

Extremes can confuse and cause consternation,
Deeply distorting the picture we see.
Forbear agitation of life's aggravation
By looking at life more optimistically.
