Equal Measures

I've toiled for so very long,
that when I had finished...
..I could not raise my arms above my head.
Much the same, I've been allowed to play to the same degree.
I've done these things in equal measures.

I've crossed many a street in my days,
and looking to the right and left...
..has totalled the same, in the amount of head turns;
which gave me a life of splendor, and not hit by a fender,
for they were done in equal meaures.

Exactly half, of all the mistakes I've made
were committed by accident,
and the others were calculated risks, that didn't "pan out".
Both, however...left the same stringent taste in the pallette of my soul,
because, they hsppened in equal measures.

The opposite of Love cannot be Hate,
it can only be Complete Indifference.
Love and Hate are but on the same side of the coin,
a coin we've all been asked to spend...
..but, I try to excercise, not...
..these conditions of the heart,
in equal measures.
