Hatreds ebb and inevitable flow
warred tug twixt moon and sun
a silhouette in one direction,
a shadow in the other.

The infreguent tsunami reverberates
endless waves to shallows,
the more predictable hurricane
cycles to whispered rumor.

Tilted axis rotates, casting
off the daylight, wobbling
as seasons lean into each other
and the ow jumps over the wound.

A object in motion will remain in motion....yes, 911 has caused motion of it's own and we've yet to feel the true aftershocks...God Bless us all when we do.
Very thought provoking, this piece.

You have such a way of "cutting to the chase," and to this, a standing ovation!
