Many swords you handle in life cut with both their edges.
Some for life, some for death & some for trimming the hedges.

Most would use as plow shears; if neighbors weren’t armed to the teeth.
Whilst the world seems afire, peace is desired beneath.

Still, while we think in black & white, ignorant of spectrum…
We’ll be lost in hubris vain; without a single breadcrumb.

Seen from either side, a blade seems the ficklest of things.
It has no view or voice, its user’s wail is all it sings.

Yet, humans seek out edges; blind to the blood included.
In the name of new frontiers, we choose to be deluded.

I see the world through a Painter’s eyes and process it with a Poet's Heart....it's quite a harsh place for the soul. It scratches and wears your true self down, at times, but the Beauty is Addictive. I feel for everyone I encounter. Everyone I encounter is a teacher if I'll let them be. I Empathize with everyone I talk to & I Think about Everything-LEVi
