"And so it is, that both the Devil and the angelic Spirit present us with objects of desire to awaken our power of choice. There is an invisible strength within us; when it recognizes two opposing objects of desire, it grows stronger."
( Rumi)
The Narrow Line
There are divisions on life’s narrow line
where paths on left unite with paths on right.
Those crossroads we encounter, intertwine;
must choose which way- and oft, by dark of night.
On left, perhaps the Devil’s wish we turn;
on right, a path more blessed by God we find.
The choice can lose the soul with no return,
or help it rise to happiness refined.
With God and Devil, we must live our years;
the balance is an act we face each day.
At times, the narrow line is blurred by fears;
go right, go left- a choice to make and pray-
the one we choose will be a soulful quest;
our only judge- a conscience well at rest.
