I stand
half in sun half dark
a person in pieces
life on one side, death on the other
Caught on the wire
trapped indecision,
caught in events
indifferent yet aware
caught yet sensing freedom
wanting to hope, not willing to try
ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
The light speaks, calls,
a confidence touch,
light of the world,
love bathed rays
penetrate my heart
call to my mind
I rise
hope’s smile calls.
