The Dichotomy Within
We all have a dichotomy within.
How can two parts of a whole be so opposing?
So casually the heart brushes aside hard won resolutions made by the head.
Betrayal to its host without conscience.
For the heart has no concept of tomorrow or yesterday; it feels only now.
It’s the head that must bear the burden of remembered hurts and guarded futures.
But who is the betrayer, the heart or the head?
Is it caution or disregard which leads to the fall?
Perhaps you know if you’ve met the other half of your soul when the two parts finally align.
True love doesn’t love in spite of the rest of the world,
It loves oblivious of the rest of the world.

May you find the path you are looking for.
