Strangest Embraces

by Venkat

No love pure
Till it embraces hate

No stand firm
Till it embraces ridicule

No speech fearless
Till it embraces rejection

No thought free
Till it embraces provocation

No will strong
Till it embraces hurdles

No peace lasting
Till it embraces disturbance

No silence true
Till it embraces noise

No observation clear
Till it embraces the unseen

No life worthwhile
Till it embraces death
