Duality.

It appears in all of the creation.

It is neither menacing nor benign.

It simply exists to be or to become.

Equivalent to so many other principles and concepts, until the action occurs, it lingers in a temporal fashion.

It is neither this nor that.

It is none and all.

It is a noun waiting for its verb.

Heart.

Mind.

Soul.

Passion.

Desire.

Goal.

Insert the correct verb and change the heart.

Insert the wrong verb and darken the mind.

Marry the correct verb and claim the soul.

Marry the wrong very and snuff out the passion.

Replace the correct verb and realize your desire.

Replace the wrong verb and relinquish your goal.

Duality.

It is neither this nor that.

It is none and all.

It is a noun waiting for its verb.

Careful is the one who seeks before they speak.

The river runs wide.

The currents run fast.

Sometimes you can be both first and last.

Duality.
