Duality

..

How could it be?
That I raise my left hand to the heavens,
but curse it with the right.
That I see vividly,
but never glimpse.
That I hear clearly,
but never receive a sound.
How could it be?
That I can fall into the deepest dream,
but never sleep..
That I move but stay still.
That I speak but not convey.
To live in this,
this duality.
At odds with myself.
Sated but ravenous.
Torn but whole.
Pleased but pained.
Here but away.
Always and Never.
Tell me
but dont speak,
how could it be.
