Polarity

 

Adam and Eve shoulda known

that apples are sweet

but can also be tart.

That bees give us honey

but sometimes will sting.

 

The bee inside me

has drunkenly sought

a sweetness that often

turns into leftovers

left out too long.

 

Yin racing for yang

in some grand design.

 

And I am left to wonder

if dissonance is beauty

 

or is it a cosmic cement

that holds us together

and yet never sets?
