I walk the line between good and evil
embracing this adrenaline high as I teeter
between one side and then the other
The rush of air as I fall from heights
borne on walls I’ve taken a lifetime to build
set me free, set me free
Love never discovered wages war
with love all-encompassing like a black moon rising
above a cold sun plying the world with false warmth
Darkness and light meld until days become bathed
in a palette washed in shades of grey
Is my weakness a veiled attempt at being clever?
Set me free
Oh, I may be on the side of angels
but don’t think for one second
that I am one of them
The distinction between heaven and hell blurs
as I realize the staircase between the two
runs both ways, all at once structured and fluid
And so I’ll continue this high wire escapade as
I borrow from the good to balance the bad
knowing I am the one holding the key

thank you for playing the Sunday Writing Prompt 🙂
You’ve explored the topic in a very creative and interesting fashion, introspective without being so intimate as to be exclusionary, which means this has a lovely contemplative feeling. There are some very bold ideas here – love undiscovered wages wars – and love all encompassing like a black moon rising – very charged ideas – but ultimately, well carried and worthy of some time to just sit with these ideas – rich and full.
Great job 🙂
