the contradiction

By ashrain

and when it all becomes clear
bubbling and boiling
coming at you with velocities
that in a moment of whim
you intercept and accept
the epiphany
that this all could be a wary sign
a caution light to arise and aware
the senses that the body is moving and the heart is leading

derail this whole life track
wreck all the submissions
into a small crevice
designed to filter away the irresolute
this warmth will burn the planks
set to shield from the waking thoughts

this is the acceptance
