Without a Little Rain

Yin and Yang.

They always say,

There’s no rainbow without a little rain,

No true smiles without a few tears,

No genuine happiness without having felt pain,

No burning passion without empty apathy,

No sincere love with without knowing hate.

 

But 

Why can’t rainbows rise out of sunshine?

Why can’t true smiles last through the seemingly sad?

Why can’t genuine happiness manifest and cease to grow?

Why can’t burning passion set a fire that’s impossible to burn out?

And why can’t sincere love encompass a soul forever?

 

If only.

 

But

There’s a reason strength knows not of itself

Without having encountered weakness.

One knows not of the truly good without knowing of the truly bad,

Knows not of yang without knowing of yin.

And so,

As they say,

There’s no rainbow without a little rain.

No pleasure without pain goes the saying. Yet that is not the point. only with a backdrop of contrast can colours be noticed. Yet sincere love can encompass a soul forever.
I like the break in the write with

If only

Need the good with the bad. We need to hope for more good then bad. I like the logic of this poem. "There’s no rainbow without a little rain."
A excellent poem.
