A Paradox

A Paradox

"Reach out but hold back"
and
"Reach out and hold back"
Between hesitation and uncertainty
she creates her fate
and calls it her destiny--the foolish woman
Before the fall of dusk
she creates the night and calls it her death--the foolish woman

"The danger and the power,
the friend and the foe"
that little thin line
makes all the difference

the paradox that paralyses a foolish woman.
A 'nun' to all
and to her own self none.
