Lean light above, shadow scrawl below -
there is no right nor wrong
What is night, is day another place -
no less no more -
when some rise, some rest
Things move in darkness
though we may not see them -
some move in light
and we miss them altogether
Look, I have sent you Love-
did you see it, feel it, know it?
You repelled it –
Did it hurt me, wound me, kill me?
No – it depends on what beauty
lens you filter thoughts through-
Here is my mother, resting up against
a cocoon that holds me separate -
Who am I to deny her
wish to be here?
Her absence is my darkness
but my heaven is to know
it was she who whispered
and sunrise rose to kiss night to sleep
There is no mystery to this
pink and blue reality

The balance of this is simply perfect. An astounding example, that everyone should read, of how to use meter and symmetry to infuse words with meaning well beyond their isolated definitions.
I loved the metaphor and regret that I lack such, to the same degree, to give this work the tribute it deserves.
*Oh and I am making a clone of you for my poet-bank (favourites)*

Very deep and compelling thoughts brought to the page from this image. Your emotive lines draw the reader to ponder the duality ever present in our lives. Descriptive without being overly done. Wonderful flow and the word usage is very effective. Excellent work! Thanks for your entry and good luck!

Ahhh, Lady...you've got such Wisdom runnin' through your bones...A remarkable piece, my dear Friend...Indeed, there is duality in all aspects of nature...even when I resist their rhythms, they will have their way, ultimately...Thank you for Being, my Sister...Good luck in the contest, Sweetie...

We jsut have to wait out the duality to circle back around, I think....sometimes it take some time for sure.
