INSIDE OUTSIDE WORD PLAY
inside outside
all around-side
breath life prana God force

inside outside
all around-side
thought spirit life creative essence

inside outside
all around-side
voice poetry word being

inside outside
all around-side
pause breathe suspend

inside outside
all around-side
gravity weight or less-ness

inside outside
all around-side
question answer real surreal

inside outside
all around-side
dream live move be

inside outside
all around-side
voice poetry word being

inside outside
all around-side
movement electricity dynamism

inside outside
all around-side
difference sameness earth sky

inside outside
all around-side
micro macro universe

  2. I like the form of this with the only changes being in the final lines. I can almost hear this as a song or chant. So many things inside and outside. Thanks for posting.

  9. I loved the almost hypnotic structure of this --- somehow both meditative and dramatic at the same time.

    Let me try an additional few lines at your invitation:

    inside outside
    all around-side
    word gift heart sense
