Inertia
Black - White...

Two entities exist, same but opposite in nature
Happily existing in parallel dimensions of colorless bliss
One brings light, the other heralds the darkness
~~
One rules the day, the other the shadowy underworld
They are a beautiful dance of Black and White,
Two entities exist, same but opposite in nature
**
They sway in steps of dark and bright,
A rhythm reminiscent of our days and nights,
One brings light, the other heralds the darkness
~~
Footfalls we once traced in white shades of joy
Now buried in depths of black hued sorrow,
Two entities exist, same but opposite in nature
**
Yesterday’s past may haunt our dreams,
Tomorrow’s future we gladly await - Anticipating...
One brings light, the other heralds the darkness
~~
Gone will be the black of shadows, deep and wide,
Where hidden fears once whispering, hid.
Two entities exist, same but opposite in nature
One brings light, the other heralds the darkness

The white of hope, so free, so vast - disappears
Now are but dreams which take melodic flight
A waltz between nightmares of highs and lows.
~
There, where our every turn and twirl bestows
Moments so pure, yet fleeting to our sight-
The white of hope, so free, so vast - disappears.
~
Life’s dance of black embraced by white.
Each step with grace, each balance serene,
A waltz between nightmares of highs and lows.
~
Let contrasts birth sweet harmony.
From White to Black to Fiery Carmine-Scarlet
The white of hope, so free, so vast - disappears.
~
Like a fiery red, gushing volcanic geyser,
Let life leap heavenward...burning crimson-red,
A waltz between nightmares of highs and lows.
~
Searing through time and space for those bold enough
To drill through the rock of inertia.
The white of hope, so free, so vast - disappears.
A waltz between nightmares of highs and lows.

This makes me yearn for the calm of grey!
These two poems remind me of learning the Ying and Yang of living life. Good job.
This was so deep and beautifully written. Loved it!
Exquisitely written, Antoni. Cc you have a wonderful way with your words.
“A Waltz between nightmares of Highs and lows” is an awesome line. It definitely helped solidify the sense of purposed contrast
