Pleasing higher beings

Feel them in my tendons
Hear them in the quiet
See them in the wind
Smell their fragrance

A constant in my life  
Like a steel manacle
Arrested and limited
I must pay the price

Sins from lives past
Karmic justice served
Grow I must or else
Be trapped hereafter

So I speak the truth
I am compassionate
Eschewing victimhood 
Pleasing higher beings
