Harmonious Opposites
A poetic monologic dialogue
How can one build, build, and build
without demolition somewhere between?
The pairs of opposites live for one another;
each one needs its conflicting twin.
Construct and deconstruct, dear self.
There is no other way.
You either take both of them, or none.
Trust the pendulum’s sway.
How can one be happy, happy, and happy
without unhappiness somewhere between?
As long as we don’t appreciate the two poles,
we won’t stand beyond their spin.
Be beyond both pain and pleasure, dear self.
There is no other way.
You either face them equally, or you’re trapped.
Choose liberty’s alley.
How can one know, know, and know
without un-knowing somewhere between?
The pairs of opposites neutralize each other,
creating the nothingness that includes everything.
Be sure, and also doubt, dear self.
There is no other way.
You either utilize both of them, or none.
Use well analogy’s…
