”Duality”
I believe
there is an intrinsic
duality
between
light & dark
a practice that defines us
our values
our lives
by not only
going high
shining bright
but more importantly
giving space
for the waves
of darkness
to crash upon our shores
O
”The Mighty”
a perfect storm
a raging tempest
ascended upon them
each gust a trial
in resilience
and radical acceptance
and yet they persisted
not around
but through
to the eye
until SHE
became the calm
the storm
relentless it churned
and there in the center
SHe began to learn
that not all winds
are meant to break
nor floods devastate
but rather
to shape HER whole
work hardened
and mightier than before
now
fully awake
"Ashore"
it was an endless winter
heart heavy and sea churned
longing for the shore
with eyes closed and chest to the sky
she surrendered to the abyss
the tides rose up in protest
and all at once
spat her out
weathered,
but ashore at last
