both/and
I.
A constant and a contradiction.
A comfort and a chaos.
At our most vulnerable and tender,
And our most raw and wretched.
Both/and from early on.
II.
An illusion of connection and a true soul friend.
Passionate, stubborn, sensitive, frustrated, willfully wise.
Something deeper, something unknown.
Resist, embrace, yes, no, free and flee.
The story unfolds, both/and.
III.
Grounded and turbulent.
Expansion, contraction, creation, destruction.
Tearing pieces apart, weaving a new tapestry.
Our darkness, our light.
Finding common ground in the both/and
IV.
The mirror and the reflection.
Higher octave expression, lower octave betrayal.
A long ago wound, a healing love.
An inhale and an exhale, forward motion, vicious cycle.
Impermanent and everlasting
Each moment a beginning and an end.
Both/and.
