Blessing In the Shadows

Blessing In the Shadows


Shackled and battened by the restraints of humankind

Hounding ego, gnawing the essence to stay behind

Reverence for soul lessen, protruding unkind

Assigned to desolation, fulfillment confined


Dying hope slipping, clutching the foundation of fate

Only feeling torment, loitering till the final date

Accepting all righteous acts to come as bait

Unknowingly unearthing a hand deterred from hate


Awakening to a notable entity, driven by solicitude

Fearful to the unforeseen, but ready to be renewed

Weaving potential realities, leaving behind the unfavorable until ensued

Released ultimately from the ocean of inhibitions to conclude
