Two ways!!

Open your eyes,
I heard her say
And realize
your better days.

Let the warmth
sweep over you,
Colder days
are overdue.

I missed a word,
I missed a beat,
The warmth is turning
to searing heat.

Oh my god!
Please, rescue me,
I am on the road
to insanity.

Can I walk
on duality?
Imagine!
Cheat reality!

Stay afloat,
hold onto hope,
It’s a leaky boat,
you have to cope.

Hope and fear,
go hand in hand,
While either sits,
the other stands.

Life and death,
the wise men tell.
Two ways to heaven,
Two ways to hell.
