a beggar and a prince
We all have struggle with those
merchants
of light and darkness
inside of us
It is a strange throne – to be
both
beggar and prince
at once
Like a princely star, we consume
our very soul,
to throw light into the darkest
voids
Other times, we ourselves consume
bigger dinners
than a black hole
beggar,
consuming all the light around us
As prince, we consume our substance
to give light
But while beggar, we consume the light
to avoid detection
None of us, are wholly good
or bad
For all of us, are both a beggar
and a prince

Thank you for the lovely comment saiom.
Absolutely! You conclude that
Absolutely! You conclude that both polarities are neither good or bad; two sides of the coin; the rhythm of existence. With a savvy, startling and metaphorical eye, you show us ultimate reality behind the curtain, and it's such a life-altering revelation! To accept it brings clarity, self-acceptance and peace. Eloquent words to grow by.
there are many shades
Between light and darkness, there are many shades… and they are all part of the human experience.
