The Ying and Yang of It
Inverse Challenge #4
Dissolution
Moon
A broken line
Conceived of the earth
Even numbers
Absorbing
Dark - crude
Negative
Passive
Femaleness
Yin
In eternal succession, we dance the Dao
I inhale, you exhale, you exhale, I inhale - primordial breath split in two
Complementing each other – divinely complete in I and you
An inter-dependent, spinning circle, of alternating time and space
Dark side - sunny side – wound together, tight, in a cosmic embrace
As a pair of opposites, we can produce ten thousand things – but alone and apart - like a lepton without a quark - none
It is no accident, that understanding can come from both a 0 and a 1
Shadow and light, absorb and penetrate – like endless night and day
Harmony, disharmony, increasing, decreasing, constantly interplay
In eternal succession, we dance the Dao
Yang
Maleness
Active
Positive
Light - ethereal
Penetrating
Odd numbers
Conceived in heaven
An unbroken line
Sun
Beginning

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

This poem is literally intoxicating, Bonnie! I loved it! I love how it started slowly before building to a crescendo before retreating to a slow and measured finish regardless of which direction we read it in. Favorite lines: Dark side - sunny side – wound together, tight, in a cosmic embrace As a pair of opposites, we can produce ten thousand things – but alone and apart - like a lepton without a quark - none
This is fascinating poetry. Very well done.
Very interesting!
I really love this, it encompasses the entire universe as wrapped in the arms of lovers experiencing time and space. ends and beginnings. Lovely.
