Ready to face the demons-
within and without
longing to live my life
within and without
destiny fought
destiny sought
within and without
facing the truth
within and without
going to ground
within and without
over and under
within and without
another day wasted
never again
within and without.
I really love how you seamlessly work through contradictions…. “destiny fought /destiny sought” ….It reminds me a bit of William Blake’s “Marriage of Heaven and Hell.” But no matter which one your nameless Speaker happens to be living at the moment, her voice always seems to emerge as a sort of insuperable Mother Earth. An eternal thing, really. Victorious in her persistence.
Thanks Neil…
I’ll keep writing and hope you keep reading 🙂
