Love the deceptively simple equilibrium of this one, Craig. Leaves me, your reader, so much to room to roam, ponder, weigh, conjure, hope, hope, hope and...

What a deep write this is dear Craig, I absolutely love the way youv written this and left me pondering and thinking in so many different ways. This has a philosophical touch to it, especially the lines “ what is one becomes the other“ that really stood out for me as well as how your poem ended, black is white and… so thought provoking. I think, silence, listens and speaks volumes, when one is silent theres so many answers and truth that flows, but id only we listen too, and connect with silence. I really enjoyed reading this. And is very inspiring too, always a pleasure reading your work. Love this

Hello Craig Your poem beautifully captures the essence of the yin-yang balance in the universe. How you depict the transition from silence to sound, stillness to movement, and darkness to light is profound and mesmerizing. It's a constant flux of life, where opposites are intertwined, each necessary for the existence of the other. Your words provoke deep reflection on the intricacies of existence and the eternal dance of duality. It is a very thought-provoking piece.- Blessings, Daniel Warm regards,

Evocative piece explores existential issues. ….”black is white and God is light…” :-)

I don't buy the philosophy, but sure is a cool poem. Sparse, succinct, poetic
