Two Red Birds Chasing the Wind

Two red birds chasing the wind
on a partly cloudy day in Spring.
Or is it a partly sunny day?
What amount of obscurity tips the scales
the other way?
The answer does not matter
to either the birds or the day.
Both continue along their way.
 
The deeper question lies within my soul.
Where, too, exists a partly cloudy day.
Or is it partly sunny?
Here, the answer matters.
A choice must be made.
The amount of obscurity will
tip the scales.

But the choice doesn't have to be
made today, this minute, this second.
So until that day comes - 
I will worry less about semantics
and instead focus on the antics
of two red birds chasing the wind.
