Toxic State

Sometimes my mind screams out to be aroused; begs to be satisfied. ...yet she remains subdued; chained to the limitations of this world. 11/30/2016

A brillant capture of what we crave and long for, our infinite aspirations and of our limited powers as human souls in front of the wonders of the Divine! At least within words and the realm of poetry we can assuage that sense and need of reaching what is beyond the limits! A pleasure to read your beauties FJ! Stay tuned and blessed.
