The awakening

of consciousness
ebb and flow,
in the ocean of being
as weal and woe
turning us from one state of feeling to another
to meet the novelty soul needs
to stay sane,
revealing truth by means of opposite
secretly concealed
as fire in boiling water
as new life in dead matter or compost
as river water and sea water
afloat together in the wet blue
colliding,unreconciled, uninextricable,
woven of similar materials
save this sameness divided
between two states-
the only differences
are names.
