An Even Balance
by K.J. Hopper
Upon the assessor’s shelf, a scale is showcased
Its holdings having been painstakingly gathered
Contents soon to be weighed to bare their value.
Will it be an even balance, or emerge as a child’s game,
with both trays teetering in a see-saw motion?
The gauge of my integrity reasons this assessment
A measurement to sort the authentic from the forged.
A weight of even balance will contain no counterfeit
However, will an inner part of me have something to expose?
Its holdings having been painstakingly gathered
Contents soon to be weighed to bare their value.
Will it be an even balance, or emerge as a child’s game,
with both trays teetering in a see-saw motion?
The gauge of my integrity reasons this assessment
A measurement to sort the authentic from the forged.
A weight of even balance will contain no counterfeit
However, will an inner part of me have something to expose?
Will I be found wanting, or will I be found a true weight?
.My heart cries out to be spiritually balanced, but should I not be - Lord, please remove every thing that is imitation and fraudulent.
