Contemplations
A Poem About Choices
Until that day I never knew
Behind his eyes there hid a lie
Below the surface shining through
Beneath the turquoise ice and blue
Onto the pages of the sky
Beyond our faults it lies in wait
Beside our guilt and pride and greed
Against our wills we take the bait
For here all that we see is hate
Inside our spirits it shall breed
Along the line my soul must stride
Between the darkness and the day
Until it may come to decide
For which of them that it shall ride
While keeping my own pain at bay
On one side there stands my brother
Without whose steady hand I'll fall
On the other stands the Mother
Make the choice: one or the other
Regarding my life overall
Beside the Mother I stand tall.
