thank you @abbak7. i am glad that you felt my writing and had such a response. it is meant to come from many directions, mostly the poem is designed as a mirror... to aid us to feel and see what we have inside. my intention in writing is not a judgment... it is an exercise in contrasts. i believe strongly in the power of dualism. within each of us is all things... joy to boredom, love to hate, power to weakness, whatever to where ever.....these contrasts are all directly attached. the trick in my mind is seeing most of life's core contrasts as a whole and not separate. at least that's what i try.
