i come from the north
talking from the south
backwards going forth
quench thirst in drouth
while i bow to the east
kneeling from the west
famished still can feast
in laboring find my rest
Thanks to Ahavati for the idea

very interesting piece of rhyme indeed, isn't it so very human to be paradoxical? you got a few beautiful lines buried in there... loved the last one especially
"in labouring i find my rest"
"in labouring i find my rest"

Yes very human and it's also very human to be in denial of one's duality.
As seen in many of my recent poems, the topic has been on my mind.
An astute observation from you KDAmB, as per usual.
Thanks so much for the comment. :-)

excellent write - needs a couple of reads for it to properly sink in - or maybe that was just me LOL :-)

Glad you like it David. i was trying to keep every line in equal length and found
it to be next to impossible but this was result. It's yet another of my poems dealing
with apparent opposites.

Someone just pointed this out! Sorry I missed it. It's very intriguing and evokes my own experiences inside the medicine wheel. ❤
