Oneness in Duality
Why settle for the light
or the dark
why frame the frameless?
See the fledglings open mouth
so red so frantic to be fed
yet the soft parts around its hungry beak
are as yellow and bright as the sun.
The yellow is a frame, but the wide-open mouth
cannot be framed, not even by the sun.
The Lion has its jaws around the antelope's throat,
the antelope fights to escape no longer,
for now, both lion and prey
are frameless.
One has surrendered, the other has broken
out of its frame,
but which?
