Avoiding Voids

You cannot find happiness
while focused on avoiding
being unhappy.
You can't stay for fear
when holding on to a part
of you that is gone.
The harder you hold
the quicker you'll drop
what is destined to no one.
If it visits you, cherish it
for it will never repeat.
As the blood that runs through your flesh
you are alive, so live
as you are blessed.


Inspired by Verse 24 of the Tao Te Ching and Florence & the Machine

My personal favorite translation, that I own, shown below.
