JUXTAPOSED


The longing for merger,    A terror of lost command.The self righteous entitlement -    A fragile ego's last stand.
 The promise of plenty -    A scarsity so profound.

A  trust  willing to give up it's life    A betrayal so easy, 

        at  a  turn of  the knife. Such is the centrepointfrom which all Life unfolds.The love,  the honour,it's treachery manifold.

In darkness let me dwell

    till  new light around me moulds...  BjR  10 July '
