Extremes

 Poets love words that dance upon extremes:

Words like "Void", "Oblivion", "Abyss"

Denoting the Absolute Depths

of the Pit of Nothingness, within the Soul.

We love to spell the truth that cries within,

And in the same breath, without skipping a beat,

Explain all the wonders of the world,

Through a colorful display of rich vivid imagery.

Taking the elements as they are,

and diffusing them into one another.

So, like a trip of the mind, the walls melt & breathe.

Like a trip of the soul,

winds and breezes anthropomorphize

And become living entities,

struggling with their own battles of truth,

just as we do every day.

A kaleidoscopic rainbow of colors

is at our fingertips,

And like an artist, we paint with these words,

striking chords in those who read,

just as we strike a chord within our own hearts.

Poets love words that dance upon extremes,

For by going beyond,

we fall within
