You Choose

I bid farewell to thee and welcome such ideas,
To no such laws or manifestation of thought,
To know that fire will envelope my peers,
This waking life to immortal sleep, our souls be sort.

Indulgence of life be free and true!
A forced hand and noisy breaths will have me not faltered.
Knowledge is key but Spirit will guide me through,
My Heart's a thew, where I forever kneel, my Altar.

Reality incorporates Divinity,
In the minuscule and immense.
I am without and within, through this infinite vicinity.
I can heartfully act. I can thoughtfully pretend.

Timed choices and pressures of reality.
No matter the past. What of the future?
Be it sane or insanity,
Only we can accept who will be our teachers.
