Three Cornered Hat (Double Etheree)

THREE CORNERED HAT (double Ethereee) This Being A human All the contrast? From Saint to Devil? I fight it every day Think about it in my sleep Awake to such good intentions Before noon I have changed my colors I must go along with the middle ground Wavering wavering between Love and________ I dare not think the alternative Yet in consciousness it does rest Listen to the Still Small Voice Always urging guiding “LOVE – the only TRUTH” Seek inner peace” OH! BE STILL! LIVE NOW! LIFE!

This poem brings to mind the picture of the angel and devil on each shoulder, with your head in the middle. Both beings talking at the same time. Although you've stuffed cotton in the devil's hear, he seems to be using a megaphone, like a cheerleader chanting. "Daver, Daver, he's my man ..." Can be chaotic at times. Enjoyed this reflection. (Also, thank you for supporting me in my poem.)
