The Outer Garment.....
The leaf glistens in the sunbeam. ...yet dark on the under part
like the smile on a face hides shadows in the heart.
A beautiful woman the eyes doth see
but her words destroy a vision so sweet.
The silent river flows gently to the ocean,
extending seductive arms .. deceives the swimmer
how quickly he is swept down
to depths below .
The air becomes still..... yet birds do not sing
they take to the hills on frantic wings
even bees do not sting..they know
a storm is brewing..fly to the hills.
Seems a difficult chore
to find oneness in all things
contradicting patterns...at every door
a lifetime we'll spend searching for that perfect blend
till in the end..we will accept
there will forever be....... two sides to a coin.
