Enlightened I, Look Beyond

Enlightened I, Look Beyond Cacophonous chatter reverberates down congested hallways Human minds stir anxious thoughts Yet amidst the scattered, clouded banter I force myself to read on. The world spins on, a chaotic top Trying not to fall off the coffee stained table, I breathe in Snow white corset pulls tight digging persistent daggers To taunt skin, clung to sore screaming ribs Eyes blur to printed words Ponders wander behind carefully edited pages Earthquakes rumble shifting tectonic plates within my brain Steady the queen, Forfeit a few pawns to disastrous tremors Continue on, dead set center of the hurricane Enlightened I let in the light Elucidating my next move Peer into the future Do not ignore the present gifts Have faith, My Child, for when you believe you’ll find Sanctuary is within the groove
