The Yin and the Yang

 


Yin and Yang from Wikipedia.

The symbol so succinct, the black and white

The contrast so clear is like day and night

The Chinese call it the yin and the yan

A circle, or sphere, ends where it began


It's like a school year, back home, then back here

Or a holiday, places far away

Let's try something new, an expensive game, 

Spice makes it taste nice, it looks just the same


Like breakfast and lunch, I have a hunch

New dishes a game, hide what's just the same

Now my second childhood, pretend I'm glad

Hide what's inside, life is sand, I'm not sad


The secret to life, pretend you're winning

Pretend the end is a new beginning.

Central, clear as your nose, like matching clothes

Though small as a thimble, a meaningful symbol.
