Self Actualization
S hadows of angst cloak my restless dayS
E very time burdens deny my very essencE…
L ifeless, moonglow drowns while I crawL, growL
F reezing on alleys like a neglected waiF.
A lone , palms reach out for heaven’s mannA,
C losing my eyes now…I envision a divine arC;
T inted with light where this soul finds resT
U ntil heaven wafts, “ cherish all that is yoU…”
A flamed epiphany rouses my inner aurA
L earning once more the power of the SelF,
I nfinitely bound, O yes, the child within and I…
Z ealously , these feet begin to tap, to waltZ
A s one dance of love trills a newfound ariA :
T ill all buds unfurl through a wishful hearT
I gniting a pure star, a rare gift from the Magi…
O n such glorious night, I chant HellO, HellO!
N evermore a pale heart, this life is my owN.
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
as twilight beckons
my pen etches hard, it's ink
scribbling depth of thoughts...
yet, notes fail against high marks
till one honors this song's flight
