‘tis just the waking up
from where the spirit’s been
that brings a sense of love
into the early hours
and clears the channel
base to crown.

And it’s like an issued order
to look within and love
what no one is blessed to see
when asleep, you see?

So I wake and toss the pros and cons
up, down, round about
but there is inside a knowing
that duality must cease to be
for the furtherance of life
and the spark of love flickers, dies
for ‘tis known as well the spirit
not yet has moved the body
to the place it has to be.

And ‘tis no mistake the ache of back
with the bend, stretch, wrap and pack,
for I am leaving from death’s door
into the realms of life
with a hope tucked away within
that one day you’ll wake up
and join me in the knowing
that duality … “sucks”!

Ahh, dear Helen, I do know this too. This is a perfect rendering of the longing we experience to be whole. Wonderful write.

Still, it is in this duality, where we learn to appreciate Absolute Beauty.

Love and hugs.

Into every yang, some yin must fall! ~ However, there is balance when we have each in equal measures.

May you experience perfect harmony ~ both within and without!

Thank you all for your kind comments.  The delay in acknowledgement is due to the packing - I really am packing up and moving!
