Lost Enlightenment

My sentence: repentance The prison in which I was the cause Their motions; their reasons Where everything was nothing I could want My mindset; my music The void that danced along with my soul Couldn’t answer the silence Within the sentence of being unknown I let it consume me I let the knowledge burden my fall Destruction and wisdom And then the everything that pierced it all Unmoving; unending The shapeless ghost that witnessed my deeds I fought it in secret Until in death my love was besieged No stopping what saved me Enlightenment was coveting my heart Unbroken; still waiting What I thought I’d killed was right near the start Unfeeling in fearing As deadly as the most honest wrong Unmaking my breaking On the path I never knew I was on
