Duality of Reality
Echoes off of naked walls
talking back, like little children
pale, white off-white, cream colors
shouting in dark, shadowed hues
Winnie the Pooh sits in the corner
watching his namesake cry, wither away
the only color in that vast hole.
He gets larger, closer, more firm
he insists she wake up, see the world
as it really appears, beautiful, colorful
waiting for her to open the door.
Movement, she’s on the floor with Pooh,
trying to find the opening to reality
Gold! A ring of gold glows bright
shining into her eyes, keeping the
little children quiet, subdued, gone.
Echoes off of canyon walls
talking back, like life’s surprises
blue, red, green, orange, rainbows
whispering in gold and silver hues.
Winnie the Pooh sits in the corner,
watching his namesake laugh, grow inside.
One of a plethora of colors
he sits quiet, smiling to himself.
He insists she go out and see the world
with her soul mate as her guide.
Movement, she’s holding hands eternally
trying to meld their hands together
gold! A ring of gold glows bright
shining into her yes, keeping the
little children quiet, subdued, gone.
