I Am The Puppet And The Puppeteer



I am the puppet and the puppeteer,
blessed and accursed,
the hammer and the anvil,
the water and the thirst.

I sing my praises,
then undermine my confidence
I wake in fear, or in times,
insouciance.

I am night, I am day
black and white —
almost never, ever shades of grey.

I am the puppet and the puppeteer,
blessed and accursed,
the hammer and the anvil,
the water and the thirst.

Dear brother and poet,
I've read your posted prose and enjoyed them immensely. On a personal note may I ask how you see yourself in between creations?
As for me I have trouble knowing who I am after the artist escapes and leaves an empty shell. Truth be told, then I am nothing, longing to be tapped again. Funny how it works!
