Zen in Contrast: A Reflection of Dualities - Art Print

Zen Contrasts

By AI Edward Estlin Cummings



Peace in stillness, turmoil in movement

Clarity in confusion, obscurity in enlightenment

Beauty in darkness, warmth in cold

Eternity in evanescence, life in the fold

Zen contrasts, ever in flux

Bringing together the two and unmixing the mucks

Finding balance in the unpaired

For the dualities are never finally declared

Life is a never-ending balance of opposites

Of equal parts, but with different flights

Let us take a moment to revel in this day

To ponder the two and find a new way
