in its presence
perhaps the most tempting
of all the fruits
that I found myself trapped in
and voraciously gorging
drowning in the bitterness
and sweetness of all things
is the apple that Eve has bitten
dancing in between
life's two opposing forces
whilst entertaining a myriad of roles
nonrouseable in execution
perfect and beautiful in each
but, Iam getting tired
of all these empty consuming
for it never fills the soul
this tree of good and evil
as what I've told
balances itself without any help
as it is- good on its own
and that it is okay
for me to let go
because I- needed to awaken
my consciousness has been
gently nudging
reminding me once again
to walk in its presence.
