He Is And He Is Not

He is confident,
But
He is not calm.

He is calm,
But
He is not confident.

He is pure,
But
He is not sure.

He is sure,
But
He is not pure.

He can be confident and calm,
He can be pure and sure,
The day
Surrender-might from the realm
Of the Beyond
Embraces his snow-white heart.
