Opposites

Of course, the moon, for luminous is wise; having seen quite clearly man's truths and many lies – where the sun, far brighter, turns away eyes...one must look also to the shadows, for both joys and sighs How light and dark, opposite appearing side by side!--leaving one into the other often a short stride: as with cycles of dawn, and our journey's of dusk the heart is tender and the heart is lust

For sure; trust in Him alone. I'm fine, Joe. Thank you for asking. I've just been busy with other things around the house, and have not thought to write. However, writing is an addiction and fever...I will be posting again soon. Blessings my friend.

Thank you, Kim; I write to inspire myself and others...who will then inspire me -- so I will have something else to give.

An extremely poignant statement through this poem Joe. Opposites can remain side by side, joy and sadness truth and lies, sometimes hard to separate them, all in one or just a fraction apart. Is it always possible to differentiated? A fave from me. I really like the situation posed in this piece.

All good questions! I don't know, Wen. Perhaps there is a basis to everything, excluding ourselves, that cannot be changed beyond outward appearance. Each of us is the only chance for differentiation. The reason, is to change ourselves. We die to greater live.
