Duality to See

By Md Farhan Khan

Flame and wood,

Love and connection,

Mind and heart.

One and another-

Same and different.

One can live without another-

We believe and trust in word of that

For all our lives, 

Because we had one without another

Without knowing it’s counter

And the world hidden behind that.

Flame tears the wood,

Burns through it self,

Scarring it to non-existence

It burns, scarlet, brighter 

A light it gives, 

To light all the world around it up,

Smokes, makes eyes tear up,

Maybe they are the soul of the wood,

Sacrificed, itself, for the fire to burn brighter.

One is incarnated infinite potential,

 To live out any who comes and will come

But another it’s a thing limited, 

Dead even, reached its end of lifespan

Different, they still need one another

One to live out,

 And other to fulfill its purpose.

Love without connecting,

It’s poison to our soul,

It kills you slowly

You beg once and again for love,

But it’s worthless 

Praying for moments where you have it

And you are not alone.

And you do connect once,

It’s a beautiful view, a new world.

A fantasical land nestled into this bland canvas

You live in it for once 

And you live forever in its embrace.

In love- most beautiful, pure and brightening medicine from God.

But we can easily mistake the incomplete for real

Because even alone they are comfort to our soul

Deceiving without even knowing.

So when we are hurt we even forget to trust 

The one where they are together and the most comfortable.

Mind with the heart,

A duo ,one that is- 

Complicated, Divided, and Different.

One is lost in numbers

And the other in wonders.

One sees the world made up of logic and numbers

Or

One sees the world as a canvas of beautiful creation

The first is alive trapped,

In its cage made by its cage of sight

The second is free, so free that it can’t remain inside

Trying to run it hurts itself and it’s host.

Which do you choose? Why do you choose.

When they are together.

Alone they are conflicted,

Hurt and crumbling even.

But together they create a picture

A real beautiful craft of and about all of creation.

Flame burns on the wood to live fully.

Love uses connection to last longer than the seas.

Mind uses the heart, excavating the infinite wonders.
