Double Silver Certificate of Excellence, poem: Dualities

Thank you, administrators, for the honor.

Dualities

The binary opposition symbols in life have
Somewhat helped identify that you gave
Thought to the ‘other’ by describing
The ‘self’ through an opposing

Lense not unlike the way we divide
Our characters with Yin and Yan that hide
The existence of otherness within
That is Masked and out of site, in a bin.

The tree of life is no different
Then the struggle within that’s bent
On having ‘good’ win against ‘evil’,
Knowing the oversimplification that’ll

Persuade the peridic nature of anger
To cool with the calming breeze, paper,
That hang onto the branches, safer,
As emotions try to erode its beautifier

Of shades, hues of greens, pleasing
To the eye, while knowing that changing
From one state of emotion to another
Is as fugacious as the flow of a timer

Set off too swiftly to linger
On the abstinence of a greater
Power that helps settle the struggle
Making managing life easier than trouble.

Double Silver Certificate: Wormhole

Great thanks to the administrators whose hard work is always appreciated.  I’m honored they’ve chosen to present me with this accolade.

Wormhole

As the Wormhole siphones time,
It’s recycled and sent down for a prime
New look at what’s been done, as lime

Is sour and requires revisiting
Actions whose regret is culminating
In despair’s depression, hindering

All positive momentum. Stagnation
Halts your progress into a quagmire of rejection
Of all esthetics of developing a projection

Of change that surmounts captivating
Your potential, reigning in its joy, sunning,
Airing your problems, giving them wings, soaring

Into the azure skyline with birds, whose
Dire need for flight mirrors our soul’s
Urgent desire to relieve its cumbersome blows

Into a sea permitting you to see
The pivotal cacophony that clamors, like the bee
Buzzing to flee from the constraints that pee

On freedom’s liberating rebellion, key
To change and stomping on the caged monkey,
Man, who plays the ape to integrate into the sea.

Double Silver Certificate,  poem: Haunted Mansion

I’m always wondrously amazed that my work is being honored by fellow poets.

I’ll apologize to my readers or followers for the darkness of the themes that I’m writing about in the recent months, but they are my outlet for past and present visual trauma of war.
