Human Core
Fine lines between love and despondency,
dust settles then is swept again
into fine crevices of your inner being
small particles clouding your vision
of life
how can it be so?
That the same heart
can produce these great contradictions?
As the human core dictates,
these intricacies and variability
must be understood
as life within the same spirit,
a part of the endless fluctuations of the human experience
part of essence at its core
despite its beauty the shadow self is beautiful
too.
In the light the dark becomes soft
less threatening
less protruding.
Human essence at its core
frontiers to climb in the dark spaces
love at the highest peaks love abundant
in human hearts and the soul
may just be Divine.
How does one respond compassionately,
when the ego is bruised,
the body predisposed to affliction
the heart a receptor of light and turbulence,
the mind is silent and full of history at
intermittent times
the eyes cannot see what’s ahead,
the spirit ~ a mere apparition?
