Duality

Missing image

Throughout our lifetime we see many parallels,

seeming as though we’ve done it before

when in reality each moment is different in some way

always something, leaving us to want more

 

Today seems like any other, the earth goes by

time goes on with little change, yet we know

each moment is unique, each thought a world

creeping into our lives, to be here evermore

 

Looking  into the mirror of my life, once again

I’m surprised at the vision that is me

it’s like looking at a reflection

and remembering the things that used to be

 

Its duality is so amazing as once more

I shudder in the quake of each wave

though they gently rock my boat, perhaps

frightened of a life now in its grave

 

Life goes on, its reflection safe in our minds

and as we go from day to day we learn to see

the perfection of our thoughts reflected

the purity of the earth, the mountains and the sea

    the word "duality" got my attention, it really does something to me, so this had to be the first poem that i take a look at, and i am very impressed. your take on the prompt is wonderful, i would have never seen what you saw, but you painted a great picture of your vision. well done

    I am in total agreement with your words here. I finally figured out that the only thing constant in life is change. Excellent work here M'Lady. I wish you luck in the contest.

    Sincerely,

    ps. For some unknown reason the image is missing on your presentation.

      Thank you, Leo for your nice comment. As for the image?? It's showing okay on mine. Have you cleared your cookies and temporary files recently? Sometimes that's the reason for pictures not loading

    You are an inspiration in all that is good about this earth that is filled with not always so much goodness.

    If there was one goodness I could capture in my hands and hold on to Ms. Catz, it would be you.

    Real mountains of the distant
    Fake mountains of the sea
    Yet somewhere still, they do combine
    joining both sides...of me

    Hugs...Eddy

    I enjoyed reading this, the thoughts follow one another and spin a spell of wonder - yes, it is true. Your reflection on this mountain lake is deep and lovely, how things stay the same while appearing to change, appearing the same through incremental changes. This is a great expression of a paradox, that amid the imperfections is an abiding perfection.
