The Whole of Light and Shadow
Eternal Light is sewn above the man,
the man is sewn to Shadows there below;
two sides opposed but each must still demand
he fight their valiant battles, blow by blow.
And each the other cannot comprehend,
two strangers close but never have they met
and in between a firm, divided friend
that owes to both an equal, lifelong debt.
One for perspectives on a better choice
when all the easy answers seem awry
and one for being strong, a rebel voice
when clenched by rules demanding we comply.
These two make Me, a complex point between
the Light and Shadows of the wholly Scene.
