Wrong? Or right? The scale teeters back and forth uncertainly.
A voice spoke. You decided it was God and not your own foolish inner voices.
A heart broke. Someone’s had to.
Is He still speaking?
Is it still breaking?
The scale trembles to a halt. Equally balanced… and then splits in half.
As each side lies useless and broken, it knows [...]

The Great Divide

I stand before you. Analyzed. Observed. Inspected.

Suddenly it is before me… [...]
