The lover and The Enemy

"life and death favor and disgrace praise and blame success and failure all of these conditions confuse and dismay us because they are the same ailment" -Lao-Tzu


love
is the easy zephyr dancing on the branches of a Judas tree
careful not to disturb the peace of the resting enemy
moves

hate
is the fire that burns at the feet of the martyr
burning with equal an ardor
as the wind blows

kiss
the lover is an enemy
the enemy is the lover
the sun rises
