This marvelous deception

This marvelous deception                                                                     

Each moment of this realm drenched
in sweet, sorrowful parting.

I opt for the inherent and inevitable
dilemma of serving two masters,

savoring the seductive illusion beyond each gate
of not being a slave to either house.

There exists an intoxicating glamour
where essence meets dust; where essence meets dust,

though insubstantial and tinged with sorrow.
Frantically we grasp and cling,

in the impetuous moment, seemingly, to the only
chance we might ever have for a taste of heaven.

O child of God, weep for this marvelous deception.
Here is the place for tears.
