An Allegiance

By:  ‘Anonymous’,  Upper Intermediate 1

Constantly choosing between two unknowns,
If I only could have a doubt .
Certainty shouts, uncertainty whispers
Words I try to understand.
A memory unfolded
Nothing. Something. Everything
I interpret, I decipher.
Cause lost its effect.
Opposites converge.
Utility crashes
On the threshold of eternity.
The end is not the end.
I write on sand with a chalk.
Moon rises.
Greeting cards sent to reason,
Burnt by the sun.
In a desert of hope and despair,
Of supposed truth and falseness,
I consume ashes.
Ashes consume me.
