THE OPPOSITES----by Louise

The Opposites by Louise Zhang (dragonclaw)


Two opposites stand
Face to face,
Each challenges the other,
Reconstructs the common denominator.
The chain of reasons,
Zigzag chainsaws through this and that,
Object and the opposite
Subject and the opposite
Against this, there is that,
Beyond that, here is this.
The middle point of two opposites
Shifting between 1/3 and 2/3.
The golden rule,
The golden mean,
An impossibility without opposites.
Opposite mirrors images,
Opposite gives life to one-sidedness,
Opposite injects meaning to concepts,
Opposite destroys different sameness.
Rhythm rises and falls within the crescendo of opposites,
Mementos bounces against the duration of opposites
Colors deepen, or pale towards the shades of opposites
Lights burst open the seams of illumination
Give me an opposite
I'll raise you another one,
Always measurably mightier,
Outshines yours In the long run.
