Meaning Friction, Framed For Your Reflection

It's the flint
that fires from
the type struck
down to a rage
of differences in connection
to what one word,
or the clever combinations,
can do with others
and their combinations.

Juxtaposed just so and
gapped
so they can't help but gape;
making the sparks fly
for you, and giving
ignition to a bigger
mean meaning
manner of making
belief believable again;
even as you question
why you ever doubted at all,
because faith you see
is implicit in all the leaps
that take your reach
to a better place for grasping.

It's a soft sell
for a very hard rub
I know.
Because I've been
rubbed so very hard
that way
to this way of feeling
about thinking, and
thinking about feeling.
And it doesn't matter
if you start from the Vessel
and come to the Vector
pointer, or get vector pointed
to be a vessel,
there is
both of them in you
to deal with, and express
with balanced gaps
and sparks
so that the heat generated
forms, anneals, heals, and restores
the better ways to keep on
keeping on; together
and individually.

All while the light
respects the dark, and
the dark respects the need
to perceive at all, because
choices will always be
there to be made, whether
we perceive them or not.
And that only by giving
your light freely, taking
time to pause without
fear, with your light very low,
to better perceive it
from others,
can you truly receive
benefit from the darkness,
and the new tools you'll need
to make the better choices
to keep this virtuous circle going.
