Spiritual Zebra

 My soul, once reclaimed from tragedy, has been marked. I am but a spiritual zebra.

 Am I black with white stripes? Do glimpses of purity show through at times? Does basic morality shine through? Am I, at times, giving the great theatrical performance? Is agenda hidden in the petals of a white rose?

 

 -OR-

 

 Am I white with black stripes? Do I allow my light to be eclipsed? Is good intention overshadowed by deed? Is the temptation of staring into the blackness too great? Do I want to turn away?

 It's a question I must ask myself. It's a question I have no desire to answer. I shall remain undefined.... I shall remain a spiritual zebra.

I love the idea of this poem... the two different sides to your spirituality, very interesting. We all have to ask ourselves these probing questions to really know who we are and who we want to strive to be. Really enjoyed this.
