Yang
I
am the sun in an unsurpassed sky that shines
Your
darkness melts under the light that my psyche implies
It
stands behind waiting on the moon and the stars stand ready to be hurled
to the sea
Does
the moon want to be me
Or
does it want what’s left of the sky who knows my mystery
I
give chase to caustic deserts that champion cities
And
fool them into submission while they search for water
That
isn’t real
Though
I can’t make atonement for the consequences done
Just
as the rivers can’t run to the sea asking to be land
And
the moon can’t collide with me
I
am sunlight laughing – an incorrigible child
And
at my will I inspire or defile
Do
you bleed under my sun that has cracked open your soul
Now
your darkness an ocean below
And
my light moves away
Like
an ethereal butterfly gaining purchase in a breeze
Moving
it to safety
I
am the yang to your yin
The
light, the ascension through fingers of darkness that reach
In
an unending cyclone we mutate
Seeking
to destroy, seeking to acquiesce
Moving
in perpetual opposition
For
eternity.
