Joseph P. DiMino Poet Free verse

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

Speaks Volumes March 14, 2023 at 3:55 PM 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. Joseph P. DiMino March 15, 2023 at 2:30 AM 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.
