The Many
Opposite beings all inside me.
One wants control,
Another is free.
Together they dance til
The two become one,
No longer fragmented
Wholeness begun!
There’s the one who is frightened
And can’t do a thing,
Another who’s sassy
Ready for whatever life brings.
Sassy takes Frightened
Into her arms,
Holding her tight,
Squeezing out fear, then
Together they take flight.
There’s the girl who wants all things
Just so and in place,
Opposing the other
Who likes messy and waste.
Their dance is a struggle
More a wrestling match
Till tight Heidi lets go and
The oneness comes fast.
Freedom is found
When two become one
Or three or a million
That’s how Love is done.
The whole world is made up
Of opposing views,
Just know when they anger
The opposing’s in you.
Everyone’s scared they
Have something to lose
They fear they will let go
And they won’t be safe.
It all winds up the same place,
Whatever you believe
Our wanting perfection,
Will soon be in the grave.
So if you let go now
Let the two become one
You may know some joy
Before life is done.
No longer caught up
In misery and strife,
You’ll touch the reality
And have Joy in this life!
