the heart is the philosopher’s stone
-Saul Williams
lately my heart has been bending
bullets with breaths and killing time
i know that life and death
aren’t opposites but they’re
intricately connected composites of
one another and that light and dark are
not opposites for they exist simultaneously
and that bumper sticker religion of coexist is
ironic because living on earth is evidence
that coexistence has been our reality
since fire covered layers of earth
covering layers of fire
i’m not giving up the unearthing of truth
as it births itself giving life to light
fathom with me that God was never born
God doesn’t have a beginning or end
God is not a seed with an origin
God doesn’t have a source
as a bullet traces it’s origins in a barrel
the barrel from metal and the metal from the earth
i know light is the absence of darkness
and darkness is the absence of light
calm indicates the presence of chaos
as chaos is a testament to calm
calm & chaos coexisting
