The Essence of You

Be for you a king, be it for knighthood, be it for the country, or be just a knave. be a director, a photographer, a star, or be just a fan. Be a rocket scientist, a professor, a teacher, or be just a neophyte. Nay, say you, perchance, just a raw student. Admittedly, sounds more palatable to the ears, lest you flounder with bombast words and find yourself at wit's end. Trials and tribulations, more challenging than any test, is what lies beyond this door, whereto, it will exact a high toll to the most pious of you, for a dolorous outcome awaits for those who make wrongful decisions. Pure actions lead to a decent life that is innate to us, thus bringing the essence of nature its clarity and the balance of it. Though, do not to lose yourself to the wiles of the nature of man, and allow a lecherous beast to prowl so, having you to spew vagrant words of an expired text that will vex you further from your beloved. Let the spiritual water spring forth and quench that which smolder, for it be the ire of discontent, and reenter into its hole from whence it sprang. Furthermore, do not allow inhibition to deny you your righteous claim. Let an angel's flaming sword, reedify your foundation that paves the virtuous path to providence, wherein, lies the life that has been ascribed to us. 2019 September 21
