Poem: Euphoneuria

One and the other
like a shore and her sea
coexist and balance
that’s you and me

Be it here or be it there
I wouldn’t doubt my devotion
mentality exists everywhere
though I’m a mountain, and you’re the ocean

Stoic, stubborn, still, and stalwart
sitting solemn on the hillside
harboring a dense, heavy heart
longing for warmth inside

Then there you live, in your ebb and flow
spirit flowing, and chaos winding
finding your balance amidst your woe
all your answers, you’re still finding

at least you search, from near to far
I just sit and stare and listen
you’re living, learning, who you are
while I mold, yet you glisten

Dark needs light for shadow’s dance
and light needs dark to see it’s plans
as mountain needs oceans pull
and oceans need the earthen shoal

Moon draws ocean to and fro
and pulls mountain up to grow
wakes you, and waves you off in the dawn
while I hardly sleep, hardly wake, hardly yawn

Water eternal, and time heals all wounds
lapping waves and calling loons
wear down the stone and force mountain to yield
the beauty of water, the shape of my shield

We cannot depart, as stars in the sky
twinkling, and telling, until they die
we’re both of the earth, one and the same
yet very different, we’re yin and were yang

I need your waves, and you need my caves
your balance is mine, explore with your time
Thus we are two, and we are one
until the stars touched, no longer by sun.
