Black or White

Black or white shades of opposition

complexity in every breath of life

give me essence, let me feel it

my hands covered with flour

  feeling the dough squeeze through my fingers

I am alive

I feel the wind raise goosebumps on my arms

white, angelic, my favorite color

chiffon light, reflection and softness on my skin

black so striking, this is force pushing my limits to the edge!

life is contrast, different shades filling the gaps

I want to be in the gap

feel the rapture escaping my red lips

let's meet at the juncture, be seduced by the freshness of the green grass

were shall we be for the intermission,  sparkling champagne all the way

I sit on the edge of the cliff, feeling the rocks the hardness of life

my meditation begins

I see another plane

ideas spun into golden threads

sparkling stars in my eyes

I wouldn't miss this for the world !

'Black or White"
Hebe,
Life in the now not the then...your meaning is grasp what is available in the present moment. What is and who is.. how and what do we do? This poem is about living. It is about enjoying and accepting and just being. This line so cool;
"life is contrast, different shades filling the gaps
I want to be in the gap"
Thanks for a good ponder poem.
Blessings,
Kathy

Definitely took me to a different place.
"I am alive", italicized, was awesome. Struck a chord. Great imagery, and lovely poetry.
