Excerpt from Hanging Ghosts by Sheldon Flett:
I AM SOMETHING
I AM not all light
I AM not all dark

I AM SOMETHING IN THE MIDDLE
Sometimes I fiddle

Just a little

Making my way
Can be okay
LIGHT-DARK
DARK-LIGHT
It all comes together

Like a riddle

I prove my way

Good times and bad times
Lessons paving the way
Knowing all the while

I AM not all light

I AM not all dark

I AM SOMETHING

In the middle
And that’s ok
