A Fine Line

Even now, when it is time
to either confirm or deny my faith

i continue to vacillate -
for my heart and mind

remain diametrically opposed
like the thorn and the rose

for one looks for the miracle
and the other the empirical

and it is that fine line
between the two

that ultimately defines
what i can accept as true

and since neither presents
a stronger argument

either for or against
i continue to straddle the fence
