"Opposites in balance turn the wheel the middle way"


Poem Artwork

Where the Light Goes

(from my perspective as a bipolar paranoid schizophrenic psychotic)

Tonight knows where the light goes and gets out of the way
And when it comes everything hums and it is today

If it were always night it would only be half right
With parallel disarray if it were always day
But two as to are balanced as today and tonight
The turning of the wheel to the learning of the real

Opposites in balance turn the wheel the middle way
Below as above to turn and learn and come to know
What comes to mind at times like this when I look within
Myself to see tonight leave so today can begin

I learn by turning to and not by turning away
When everything is nothing and when I am no one
Then nothing is everything and I am everyone
It is love after all in the rise and in the fall

At times like this when the light is rising within me
As tonight is leaving so today can begin me
Again as it has always been again and again
I am learning the real to the turning of the wheel

And the learning of the turning is love even though
It only seems to go to come and to come to go
To learn by turning to and never turning away
In the rise and in the fall it is love after all

And when it comes everything hums and it is today
Tonight knows where the light goes and gets out of the way
