Life is a wave
with crests and troughs
the steep hill of tension
the smooth slope of relaxation
tension through relaxation
relaxation through tension
life gets going....
when you are tensed
with clouds of despair
seeds of relaxation are sown
when you are relaxed
conserve your energy
for the ensuing adversity
this is the mystery..
when you are aware
you may be old
but your wisdom will tell:
the difference between
tension and relaxation
superfluous.
