I write a lot of pretty things designed to weave a silken cord about your mind a hook to let you taste a part of who and what I am the changes in the shadows, in the light, are facets of the whole, all true and yet not truth for I am fire and ice a gentle cruelty that dances on the edge of pain then stumbles back before blood flows to stain the tapestry, I am yes and no depending on the flavour of the question for my beliefs are strong well formed but not yet frozen into stone. I am peace and chaos order rising into being and then falling into moments of confusion asking why and why not in a breath that doesn’t falter as I turn and walk away from the deep heartbreaking silence so loud it drowns the echoes of my tears.
"I am yes and no depending on the flavour of the question."
My initial favorite, D. Thanks for this meditative piece. I happen to be in exactly the right meditative state in my apres-Xmas blues to fully appreciate what you're saying, I think.

designed to weave
a silken cord about your mind
a hook to let you taste a part
of who and what I am
the changes in the shadows,
in the light, are facets of the whole,
all true and yet not truth
for I am fire and ice
a gentle cruelty that dances
on the edge of pain
then stumbles back
before blood flows
to stain the tapestry,
I am yes and no
depending on the flavour
of the question
for my beliefs are strong
well formed but not yet
frozen into stone.
I am peace and chaos
order rising into being
and then falling
into moments
of confusion asking why
and why not in a breath
that doesn’t falter
as I turn and walk away
from the deep heartbreaking
silence so loud it drowns
the echoes of my tears.
