The Difference Between Sinner and Saint

The difference between sinner and saint lies somewhere between the difference between Earth and sky. I don’t know why It’s so difficult to distinguish between the two when there’s so many shades of baby blue and all one has to do is breathe free clean air while standing on the ground looking up at all that oxygen floating ‘round originating in flowers, plants and trees everyone can see that even while our feet are planted solidly on good dirt it doesn’t hurt to let your mind wander awhile while your heart pumps all that sweet red blood through your vitriolic veins carrying all those molecules sucked in so we don’t faint which is why it’s so difficult to separate earth from sky and sinner from saint.

What to do terry if one is both sinner and saint? On any given day I can be either and find it a real test to walk the straight and narrow so I guess many of us fit into those wise last lines you wrote. You haven't lost the magic! Love, Lizzie

Fine the line twixt sinner and saint // that which is and that which ain't // earth and skies a melded screen // good and bad wedged in-between. I like, Terry. Very much. Licia :)

An interesting and thought provoking little rhyme you've penned there Delysia. If it's yours - you should expand on it in a longer piece of poetry. Thanks for stopping by and o by the way...LOVELY photo ma dear!

o, truths and lies are both the same mechanisms for our game and false and true are too alike to entertain us through this hike and likewise good and bad are planned to stroll together hand in hand as is our wont to disagree and find the morbid depths of glee for what we'd do of erstwhile talk debating god and ape and stork and furthermore our poetry may yet be swinging in a tree i can see why Delysia rates you so highly, TM. you've got the rhythm, great stuff! regards, eph.
