Not Sweeping Endings Comments

You wrote a striking metaphorical definition of LIFE in the last stanza with this abstract of life, this symbolic figure uniting opposites in her nature in a way we would do well to imitate. She mourns in joy and enjoys sorrows - I used different words but the meaning is the same. We humans make sharp distinctions between joy and sorrow - one cancels out the other - your poem suggests instead of isolating one and revelling in the other, we should blend them into one experience and thereby neutralize the neagtive and accentuate the positive.
