One in all, all in one

sorenbarrett

You are sweet I am savor
Each of us a different flavor
Once mixed can you separate sugar from salt?
Both a different taste, no one's at fault

Where does darkness end and light begin?
Me without and you within
Roots become trunk, trunk turns to limbs
All now one as light dims

      Soulmates till the end. I'm salt and my husband is sugar, that's what I believe anyway or maybe he is the salt depends on the day. This is sadly profoundly beautiful. 🌹

                      Left and Right, two wings of the same bird. I saw this quote today. Your poem reminded me. Also opposites attract. Really like what you have penned here.

                        Thanks so much Cassie yes that is so true Far left and far right meet. Thanks for the read and comment.

                      • Doggerel Dave

                        I think that's definitely chemistry. Or perhaps complementary. A well polished little gem, Soren.

                        • sorenbarrett

                          Thank you so much Dave I do so appreciate your reads and comments and value them as special.

                                A beautifully written two stanzas here sorenbarrett, that reminds us the importance of a true core unity, despite our many differences.

                                Bravo and I hope that all is well.
