Contradictions

Here is another one that did not make the cut but felt worthy of putting here for all to enjoy...Unfortunately only one poem was allowed to be printed.

Contradictions

My heart races

When I think of love

The shattering of glass

Inside a dove

The beauty and the beast

The good and the bad

Things that make me happy

Things that make me sad

Having before me the sky

So blue and vast and clear

I shake and I tremble

With thoughts of  love and fear

My heart stirs and I move an inch

Forward I lean and back again

The glass has crumbled on the floor

Is it love and will love win

The dove flies away

Fluttering its wings

Naked I stand

A wounded human being

The beat of my heart

I hear in my ears

A smile on my face

In forward gear
