throwing the dice

You weigh the risks
you throw the dice
to win or loose
you can't decide

yet if a 'soul mate'
is the soul's recognition of its counterpart
that missing piece that soo harmniously fits in
why should love be a win/loose?

isn't it win-win
the greater good
resulting in a sum that is greater than the parts that make the whole?
yet.. all around you

you see mismatch
the suboptimal solution
the divine pairing
all gone wrong

its never "picture perfect"
yet, its not perfection you seek
in its absolute sense
yet harmony and balance
a synchronised rythm
for the song of life

without jagged edges
that rip the soul
and leave unhealable wounds..

yet some throw the dice
not knowing
or without wanting to know

trapped in a deception
sustained by their own stubbornness
mistaken for hope

that blinds their eyes
and hardens their skulls
making them hit their heads again and again
against a stone cold wall

that will not budge
that does not feel
because they don't understand?
it is on the other side of the wall
that the moisture of life has seeped in
and carved the smooth groves
in which the roots have found their foot hold
and beautiful blossoms blume

throwing the dice
is not enough
it must be in your fate
to win........
