DUALITY

“In truth each day is a universe in which we are tangled in the light of stars.”- Horses, Jim Harrison

In truth each day is a universe in which we are tangled in the light of stars.

unknown as potential
mysterious as the night
spangled in starlight

intangible as the soul
immeasurable as the future
unappreciated as spiritual power

But…I choose to construct a falsehood

and breathe in it
to make sense of life
eliminate strife

between faith and reason
body and soul
have a goal

And… I accept the duality

of days and nights
of fate and acumen
of gods and humans
