Yin Yang of Life's Perception

The giftee rings true only when their offering is given without greed 
and when received in gentleness without tug it will surely supersede 

Love is the union of two people who willingly sacrifice themselves 
Lust is a brash rub of emotion that with selfish intent often delves 

Truth is honest, open and often patient, in expressing its commitment 
Lies on the other hand are cunning and always eager to increment  

Isolation can lead to separation along with deep seated loneliness
but recognizing same in others can be a moment of deep awareness
