True

Like a thermometer we monitor
Our innermost feelings of grace
In the same place we monitor war
In I say, the very same place.

Within this well is the cancer of hell
Sulfur’s from the abyss of goal
Covered by the thinnest veil of a shell
As reachable as any shoal

Duality is born to our making
Either one can over power
Our flowers have only the one waking
Each one is marked by the hour.

We must learn each one to sail our own ship
Curry stars and whispers within
We must learn to avail the pressures that grip
And of moiré and vipers of sin

I cannot say that we all will succeed  
But by all that’s holy there is that need.

You wrap your thoughts up so very well, and whether with string or ribbon, set the course for daily thought...

well done, our Sy!

These feelings do occupy the same space and what a cauldron it can be when the acid of vengence mixes with the broth of brotherly Love.

and etch your visions on sands of time
