contradictory feelings

by Michele Schottelkorb

contradictory feelings
reside here
in my little mind
flaccid body falling apart
 
yet,
 
my heart expands
at the gentle touch of humility

I like the last two lines, the contradiction is felt and the transition goes well

Well, its the impression, the vibrations we recieve which sets in the 'mood'. The 'self' who is going to be at the helm of affairs. Incidentally, we are multitude of selves, internalized in the course of our formatory age. Many of them contradictory. One of them shall resolve to do something. The very next moment the other will do just the opposite. You said this well in this beautiful minimal.
