Unseeking Seeker Poet Free verse

Zen Mode

presupposing renewal of breath
continuity of memory linking time
gradually accepting our limitations
trauma bonding with habit patterns
spontaneity of innocence sacrificed

we mark out our territory in a cage
decorating it with objects of desire
of which creative impulse too a fetter
snarling if any intruder comes close
living alone in our cell with mirrors
in fading light

That was a deep statement, excellent ending. :?-?)
