Wolf or Dove

Dear One,

There is wolf in me,
Waiting to tear you down.
Eyes red with envy, and,
A heart filled with frowns.

There is also a dove in me,
Beautiful as the whitest cloud.
Always ready to rise,
No matter what's the price.

Both are sworn enemies,
Yet they stay inside.
Share my deepest thoughts,
To make me laugh or cry.

The wolf, is my darkest desires,
The dove, my loftiest dreams.
They are as real for you,
As it is for me.

They wait for the moment,
To make you one of them.
How you deal with it,
Makes the whole difference.

The wolf kills and howls,
The dove heals and loves.
One thrives on hatred,
The other on love.

Vicious anger grips the wolf,
Making it mad in vain.
Calm and quiet the dove remains,
Steady and strong even in pain.

Both are the vilest enemies,

Ready to fly.

One in harmful rage,

The other in harmless love.

Wolf or dove,
Is your own personal choice.
Always be cautious,
Else the dove will have to die.

Both are your own two shades,
Little do you know or care.
One can't stand the other,
Yet you have to forbear.

So be careful and aware,
Of the friend and foe.
If one raises it's head,
The other has to let go.

Love and hate,
Can never dwell in peace.
That's the primordial truth,
Know it, before it completely destroys you.

Who are you? Know your story,
A wicked wolf or a peaceful dove?
See the truest truth within,
The rest of it, is just a fancy lie.

Peace in yourself. Peace in the world.
