What Is Poetry

~Reflectance of the freedom, of expression of one’s heart and soul. Standing against the false reflection, of the tyrant dominating requirements, of one’s derivative mind control. ~For the mind’s effort to be brilliant, of itself, only reveals it’s own ignorance, in the face of love’s wisdom, being only derivative of love fact! ~A simplistic Native American proverb, Within each of us are two dogs fighting. A bad dog and a good dog! Which one will win the battle? The one persistent enough, to devour the other! ~One Power, two dogs fighting. One seeks to build life of love’s nature. The other a parasitic version, fashioned after the tyrant mind’s domination!

The Scottish in me warrants I be two dogs. To do what I have to do, and don't do what I shouldn't do - though sometimes one has to meet in the middle. Great poetry John, terrific in fact....:)

Really like the way your compare your thoughts on love to the two dogs fighting. In your case it's certainly the good dog that has devoured the bad. Love is always reality while the mind often deals with illusions, John. But I'm preaching to the choir. Awesome poem, my friend! Love, Carolyn
