Skin Deep

The dust of a star 

and comets made mud.

We were formed into halves 

wanting to be whole.

The success of the species

is due to it's nature

In stars, and rivers, oceans, and mountains

we see it, we feel it, we deny it, we fantasize it...

attraction.

Sensual environmental dynamics and attraction appear to surround you Mark. This is an interesting idea, nicely conveyed.

[Mark]

'Sensual environmental dynamics'... I love the sound of that. If I look it up will a find a new science? I might have to go back to school.

Attraction
Its as if nothing in the universe wants to be on its own - absolutely nothing... and you have put this into words of the highest order.
Well done

I hadn't been thinking that when I wrote it, but YES! Yin-Yang, 1 - 0, heads/tails... all is a duality. Thanks for reminding me. :)
