The secret inside out

sorenbarrett

Step into complexity to find simplicity
Look into simplicity and there exists complexity
Step back from complexity to see simplicity
Leave simplicity and there is complexity
 In chaos there is organization
Inside organization exists chaos
Within darkness there is light
Out of brightness come shadows of dark
Before time all was black
Before darkness all was still
Without movement there is no change,
It is because we see and think in degrees that this is true
In everything there is nothing
With no dimensions, nothing exists
From nothingness came everything
One, only a point (existence)
Two, a line (form)
Three, shape (substance)
Four, time (freedom and choice)
In each dimension, more control
With control, more freedom
 In freedom there is restriction
Restriction born of freedom
In change there is consistency
In consistency change
In one there is many
In many there is one

      Thank you Reynaldo for the review and interpretation it is highly valued

    • David Wakeling

      For me this is a strong exploration of the contrary nature of realty. From simplicity to complexity end with one and many.This is quite a thoughtful approach to this eternal problem. Is reality real or is it made up of unreality.This made me think.Excellent

        Thanks so much David for your read and understanding of this poem. Our view is everything in our interpretation and it matters where you stand at any point in time as to what is real and what is not, all being right and all being wrong.

        That's very well written, they are not things people would normally see, but when see it laid out like this, it's so obvious, enjoyed the read

          Thanks Tobani for your read and understanding. Arguments often start over different points of view and simply realizing that both may be right about how they see it or both wrong from a different point of view makes all the difference.

              Well done, Soren. Your poem explores the intricate relationship between simplicity and complexity, suggesting that they are interdependent and that one cannot exist without the other. It contemplates the nature of existence, the interplay of light and darkness, and the paradoxes inherent in freedom and restriction. You seem to revolve around philosophical concepts of existence, duality, and the interconnectedness of opposites. It examines how chaos and order, movement and stillness, restriction and freedom coexist and influence one another. Your poem also serves as a meditation on the nature of understanding and perception.

                Thank you Friendship for your read and understanding of this piece that everything is the same and yet at different levels seen differently.
