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?
