In blissful dreams he drifts in time
Lost in contemplation
A complex mind reflects and sits
in ardent admiration.

Conflicting states allied in hope
Extremes breed deep respect
A new idea enlightens night
a cherished foe he must inspect.

Awareness dawns as fear retreats
The spirit must react
The mind has come full circle
knowing opposites attract.

Poetry by Rhonda Havlock

A tortured soul, I must escape
No keys for this unyielding gate
My screams not even I can hear
How long have I been hiding here?

No light, no chance, no hope in sight
This darkness fills me day and night
Unyielding, cruel, the pain is clear
Caught in this trap…it’s me I fear.
