My eyes wide through window stand Sun rising compel thoughts of black or white or the grayest gray Discernment from reality which is left or right hand In a hundred lifetimes could I sway The one answer from your lips grace Becloud evergreens at the peak of the chill air Heavens movement playing chase and enlaced Cathedral veils amidst angels' illusion glory there Your vision of crevasse darken ash in its place Can two opposite narratives about something be errorless? Nature melts souls unlike each other through gracious airs Adding spice and passion to ignite one needs and desires Of the flesh; yearning unfulfilled sweet and sour affairs

I truly wasn't expecting this and in a way a delight, if ever a painting belonged to a poem, this is it, loved this!
