I dance on a tightrope, in uncertain balance, Between euphoria and abysses, between storms and quiet calms. The days go by, each dyed a different hue, Yet every dawn brings a different mood. One day I’m flying, my soul in jubilation, The next, I sink into sadness without a destination. The stars are my guides, sometimes far too bright, They light up my nights, but make them dangerous with light. The silence screams the truths I try to outrun, Yet my heart keeps beating between two infinities as one. I am this living paradox, this being in transition, Forever drifting between excess and reason, Searching in every heartbeat, in every breath I take For peace, for respite, for a space where harmony can wake. I am neither my shadow, nor only my light, I am all of these contrasts, this singular dance in flight, A whole, complex being, in endless transformation, And it’s inside this chaos that I find my creation. I weave my days between the moon and the sun, In this fragile sway, I seek the awakening to come: To accept that these poles are both part of me, And that they sketch the very essence of my path, my destiny

The living paradox
I dance on a tightrope, in uncertain balance, Between euphoria and abysses, between storms and quiet calms. The days go by, each dyed a different hue, Yet every dawn brings a different mood. One day I’m flying, my soul in jubilation, The next, I sink into sadness without a destination. The stars are my guides, sometimes far too bright, They light up my nights, but make them dangerous with light. The silence screams the truths I try to outrun, Yet my heart keeps beating between two infinities as one. I am this living paradox, this being in transition, Forever drifting between excess and reason, Searching in every heartbeat, in every breath I take For peace, for respite, for a space where harmony can wake. I am neither my shadow, nor only my light, I am all of these contrasts, this singular dance in flight, A whole, complex being, in endless transformation, And it’s inside this chaos that I find my creation. I weave my days between the moon and the sun, In this fragile sway, I seek the awakening to come: To accept that these poles are both part of me, And that they sketch the very essence of my path, my destiny
