Ok, here's mine
I kinda rushed it, so it's a little sloppy
enjoy!

I am a seeker, walking a line
I wonder what lies on either side
I hear whispers from left and from right
I see the threshold in the distance
I want to keep my eyes from straying
I am a seeker, walking a line

I pretend that i have all the answers
I feel hatred for what i don't dare to see
I touch the air before me, looking forever onward
I worry that my true love will walk not the same
I cry when I see people corrupt by their Gods
I am a seeker, walking a line

I understand that people feel pity for me
I say that my path is without prejudice
I dream of straying to left or to right
I try to keep on without looking those ways
I hope there are people walking behind me
I am a seeker, walking a line

Walking a straight line, without straying tward temptation is not an easy thing.  But you sound like a strong person with good ideas, and a good grasp on the world.  With that in mind I think you'll do just fine walkin along your chosen line.   hehe I just rhymed...lol

This was a nice one Allan. You met the challenge well. I liked it and enjoyed the read.

I admire it daily

I could really see into your soul with this piece. As long as you stay on that line you are walking on, you'll be ok. Challenge well met!

Great job on this, it's good sometimes to think about who you really are.
