I believe in contrasts that counterattack one another.
A dueling situation of polar opposites
caught in the unblinking stare of one another.
I believe I know myself.
What a foolish thing to believe to know thyself.
I only partly believe I know myself for
my soul is multifaceted, shaped by environment
and molded by my own thoughts.
I believe I am learning to know myself.
I believe I am the student to this knowledge
as time is to the sun and moon who
dance atop the horizon’s floor in immortal tango.
I believe I only dug into the surface level of my beliefs.
What a foolish thing to do.
I believe that is a shame;
but who can say for certain?
