the Diligence of Duality

Do opposites push away
or do we just subtly sway
Kinda like a dancing thang
Not too unlike the yin and the yang
How a frozen vortex hangs
Or when time still used to sang
of balance and understanding

Do opposites push away
or do we just subtly sway
Caught in the frays of yesterday
One goal and two paths
Heading to two billion
Or was it the circle of zero

My dreams sometimes betray me
as do my memories
But the stars never lie
Only slightly rambunctious
And you can’t blame a spirit
On a time line between us and ants
In their spiraling slow dance
of eternity and rebirth

I used to think
The moon chased the sun
And the day chased the night
But its alright
if we just take turns

Wild is the wind
As are its whispers of desire
and pollen
and change

Do opposites push away
or do we just subtly sway
Into and out of the way
of these burning
atavistic yearnings
That can char like flames
And soothe like clay

The fight within
Sure battles without sides
Do opposites push away
or do we just subtly sway
Rivers and tides guide me towards continuity
The world keeps spinning
and sometimes it’s all we can do just to hang on.
