Late night sleeplessness and jasmine oolong tea seem to be good for the poetic muse.
"Vines"
© 2014 A.L.S. Vossler
Branches vine together;
twist and turn, turn and twist—
Fantasy, Reality:
symbiotic, synergistic,
distinct, yet intertwined—
different leaves and different blossoms,
with thorns both tangled tight.
One reflects and One defines,
One a host, the Other guest.
Dual trees of single root—
for what we label 'fantasy'
springs up from reality,
but what we name 'reality'
was once Creator's fantasy—
which is tree and which is shoot?
One a guest, the Other, host,
One defines and One reflects.
Both tangled tight with thorns,
different blossoms, different leaves,
intertwined yet so distinct—
synergistic, symbiotic,
Reality and Fantasy:
turn and twist, twist and turn—
Branches vine together.
