One in the Same

Love is everything

It's a spoken word
A bluebird sky
A face caressed
A thunderstorm
It's the gentle tremble of an Aspen
The twist of a Narwhal's tusk
The honey from a bee

Love ignites animate anomalies

Hate is Love erupting in monstrous pain
It punches through hearts
Slices at souls
Induces insanity
Obscures and distorts
Kills and maims

Love forces elemental anomalies

It startles you into awareness
with tears of joy
and wails of misery
It soothes
It scathes
It soaks a mind in bliss
and poisons it with pills
It magnifies an experience
Clarifies a reality
Shadows an epiphany

It's a two-way door on a path
led with an open mind
and a one-way with a closed one
Hate to love?
Love to hate?
They're one in the same

Sliding and spinning
from one end of the spectrum to the other
An emotional canvas
Of black and white
Splashes of red, yellow, blue
and green networks of envy

It's in each kind breath
And every cruel moment
It's in the eyes of a newborn child
And the palm of a dying hand
The flight of an owl
The slither of a snake
The dew on a leaf
It's endless

Love is everything
