Am I...

A contemplation on the light and dark places in myself.

Am I sinner?

 

Am I saint?

 

The questions quietly thunder in concealed debate

 

Between the wish to shine with the light of God and all his good graces

 

singing angelic hymns with cherubic lacings

 

Or the desire to dance with the devils of my inner dark spaces,

 

screaming throaty words with brimstone facings

 

To which do you confess and which do you deny?

 

Both ends are but a touch away,

 

They burn, they heal

 

and the struggle reveals

 

All that you are: both, none and one
