Poetry
Rift of Dichotomy
In the hush of a shared horizon, one gaze traces the river's golden thread down valleys carved by patient centuries, seeing only the slow surrender of stone to water, a quiet testament to endurance.
Do as you're told and your fate is sealed before you get out of bed, rotting away in the disease of status quo trapping your inspiration in a web of doubt so large that you were fooled to see it as anxiety
Another lifts eyes to the fractured sky, where lightning stitches cloud to cloud in brief, violent illuminations, reading the storm as proof that rupture precedes renewal.
Fear deep in your gut that prevents you from trying something new simply to keep you ensnared with confusion
They stand on the same bank, yet the current speaks in different tongues: one hears a lullaby of persistence, the other, a manifesto of upheaval
What if you release your internal judgments and weave the strings of your imagination until your dreams turn real
Time, impartial archivist, records both interpretations in the same sediment layers.
Slowly, without declaration, the river widens. The storm expends its fury and seeds the air with negative ions that taste of metallic possibility.
What if you pushed through the social divide that categorized you into a million pieces and instead simply showed up as you
In the clearing after the rain, one notices how light refracts through droplets clinging to reed and rock, splitting white into unexpected spectra
What if you trusted yourself enough to explore the depths of your own being while the rest of the world complains about the water
The other feels the soil drink deeply, roots knitting tighter in the softened earth, understanding that disruption is merely water seeking its level.
You held your own in those depths while others threw their garbage at you. slop. thief. planet killer. job taker
No trumpet announces the shift. Only the gradual blurring of boundaries where opposing currents braid, carrying fragments of each argument downstream together, neither victorious, both transformed.
And so you explore discover transcend the noise you've found your voice again.
Thus two visions learn the art of traveling in the same vessel: not by erasing difference, but by allowing the river to hold both its memory of stone and its hunger for sky
Your way is not right or better. it is simply you. But the we still expects you to fit in a nice box they have created for you Don't live in that box.
You are immersed in a changing world where what is truth today will be antiquated tomorrow.
Instead, build your house in the cosmic rift of dichotomy
