Diamonds and dust
gold and rust
One outweighs
the other

Hand in hand
off to foreign land
one and another
half with eachother

Beggar and giver
company man and life-liver
Taking and giving
loving and living

We explore the elements of these comparisons in every decision we make, friend or foe, husband or wife, or not. You last two lines are the important sum and substance we should apply to all, "taking and giving, loving and living". So simplistic and yet so provocatively complex. I wish you love and peace my dear friend. Jon Michael

�Jack Spratt could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.� Opposites attract, and if they don't explode, may have a long time together.

Very creative and thought provoking.

Interesting comparisons like wheat and chaff,
good writers and dabblers.
Glad you fit the first category.

Taking the opposites as you list things you want to remember for your own pleasure, or maybe displeasure. The bucket list has been balanced out.
