Both

You are both darkness and light

Calm peaceful daytime

Or tumultuous nights

In which our souls they twist and turn

Trying to find the way home

To the great unity

We lost so long ago

And if you are a living breathing thing

Within which every opposite is contained

How can it be that we

Stoop to divide and conquer

That which was never meant to be

Separated from unity

And love

But we do

And is this not our most

Supreme folly

We are both incarnated spirit

And animal body

And the tussle and conflict

Between the two

Can either destroy us entirely

Or remake us

Anew
