The Whiskey Taster’s Flavor Guide

Opposing Free flowing spirit

”Spontaneity chooses not to rehearse,
playful, joyful, embracing offered surprise,
vibrant in the void, one with the universe,
delighting beholding bliss beats within rise,
cajoling head-heart entwined, to pen a verse,
celebrating rebirth, when our ego dies.”

Wary ego, always tip toeing with care,
prone to weigh and size, negates offered surprise,
phlegmatic its stooped stance, mostly unaware,
trauma bonding with sorrow, with each breath dies,
head-heart in conflict, which never ever pair,
dwelling in the shadows, love and light decries.

Perfect opposition, Seeker! I love the contrast between surprise and wary, "head-heart entwined" and "head-heart in conflict," "ego tip toeing." This is so well thought out. Impressive. Wonderfully articulated. Congratulations on your win! Blessings of health, happiness and bliss for 2024!

A prompt DD came up with ~ novel idea, oxymoronic.
