The Gates Of

For those that
are wondering &
don't already know
this is only my intro
Follow me as I go
into a bevy of
new directions
My introspection?
Deeper than grave
perceptions of egos
at deaths door
They're incinerated
in more ways than one
because it's hot
at the core of things
This door brings you
to the fringes of a reality
you aren't ready for
today
One that's off the hinges
& infringes upon
boundaries you've
kept locked away
I implore you to 
stay away if you aren't
ready for a new
way of seeing
There's a whole new
production coming
to the fore
No acting
just being
This is a drawn out
introduction to
so called
things of lore
A rise assured by
the steady hands
of the divine
A quiet conception
being birthed
at the most
appropriate of times
A shine so magnificent
it could easily be mistaken
for something
dark
Feasibly so because
the spark is so blinding
to shady eyes &
was from the start
On your mark
Get ready & set to go
while keeping
your focus steady
What of the weight
of the world on
all our shoulders?
It's heavy
but nothing we can't
lift & bear
I'll share something
else with you
again
As I've said in 
times past
it all works out
in the end
It's fair to say
the more we lift
the stronger it is
we become
Nothing worth having
comes easy & if it did
getting it wouldn't
be fun
