What Zorba Saw

by Joan

At day’s end I look back and see

what Zorba saw

and celebrates:

life in all its

glorious, full catastrophe.

Moments of joy

mix with flashes

of sorrow as

I stand, back pressed against life’s wall.

Why complain when

I can step forth

and start to dance?

    WOW. I absolutely LOVE it, especially asking while pressed against the wall, “Why complain when I can step forth and begin to dance?” THAT’S the life, I know!
