Paradox, Elucidated
One makes the assumption that two entities are separate, the immovable object and the unstoppable force. Both entities are immovable and unstoppable, by virtue of their singular capability; furthermore, there is no both, there is but one.
Love is unbreakable, unstoppable
Not the sword or the shield, but both
Not the fox or the hound, but both
The rock and the wind together.
Not creation and destruction, but transference
The energy of love travels and transforms and builds and destroys
Love does and is all
Love is action and inaction, creation and destruction
And most of all
Elucidation
Love teaches and teases and tortures and tends
Inanimate, intangible
Love’s corporeal effects on body and mind
Measurable with numbers
Immeasurable, unquantifiable in words
And yet we try.
Epic love drives epic pain and one surrounds the other
Is consumed, and then reborn
Teumessian fox and the hound Laelaps,
Static stars, or are they?
When Zeus realized his mistake,
He created another, as stars are not static by the very nature of the beasts
The energy in stars is the energy of love, one and the same
Always changing, born, reborn, reborn again
We are all stardust
Those who feel love’s flip side stronger
Hatred
Send love’s destructive energy through the world
Without the light and logic
The yin and yang
The balance shifted, the pendulum swings
Overswings, overcompensates, as it always does
Energy is neither created or destroyed, only transferred
Love is hate is love, each side of the pendulum
There are those lacking balance, those broken and who
Cannot connote each side
The pendulum base is built off kilter
They feed off hatred, even happy, cheerful
Only in misery
Disturbing the universal balance, and so must be transferred
To feed the Reaping force
The harbingers of peace when Earth’s spinning slows at last
Time is man-made, relative to all physical forces, those relative to each other
Infinite as the universe and its mates are infinite
No artificial markers, no start or finish
The Reapers see and feel the depth of human pain and love
And restore the balance of the planet, as their creation in imbalance
Calms the pendulum sway
As the mother loves her inmate child
As a lover saves her heart
As a son may leave his father soon
None can drive apart
Unstoppable force, immoveable object
The fox and hound alive
Together, flaming, moving
Love cannot be overpowered, halted
Permanently altered
T’is not the nature of the force
It dominates all energies
Universal shield and sword.
