Oh this connection
Has gone off the line
I cut the cord
With the sharp knife of your words
With the stinging resonance of recollected thoughts of our past
And it hurts my bones
I have cried out into the night
Blinded by the false hopes
In which spill from dark eyes
In streams of deceit
But it is but a journey
In which I travel
In which I find my soul purpose
Accompanied by you no longer
My brittle teeth are stronger
And bite down on stone
I sought out with withering hands
A crutch and brace in a figure
Whom was but the cause of my crippling
With my withering hand I held tight
The pain of dry flesh pinched by the abrasion of my fingers
As he let go of my withering hand and watched me drift into the sea
Of deception
It was a long gloomy night
Splashing and swirling about
My feet unable to touch the bottom
Of the sea’s floor feeling hopeless
Ready to let my body float effortlessly
Or sink effortlessly
But It was then in the light of the sky
The dismantled vision of my stormy eyes
Was cleared as I gazed awestruck and amazed
At the pure light before me
The warmth wrapped me up like a coat of wool
And sung to me a calming tune
It dried the sea in which I had been drowning
And my cold feet embraced the warm sand of the earth
I felt the calamity dispose of itself into the waste basket of my soul
As I breathed in the fresh fumes of serenity
Taking a gander around
This new place
This unfamiliarly familiar place
A harmonious guffaw escapes my lips
I was at peace and my trying times laid to rest
For I had seen troubling times
And made my condolences
with those who brought them upon their backs
And with time I had let the spirits of
Those overrun my own
I had let them define and design
My very being
Overly codependent on the figures in which were themselves dependent on my dependence
But a las I collected my remnants and bid farewell to my heavy heart
For I have built myself up and knocked down the wonder wall in which I once leaned on
I have found the light
In the darkest of times
And touched my feet on the floors of armistice
I have reached the paradise I was promised
Though I had lost faith in its proposal
I now see the error in my construed pessimism
I have now found the true meaning of my soul
What I have destined
And what I have destined did not lie in another
It lied within myself
Within the cage of my body
Within my heart
As I take a breath and taste the salty breeze of rejoice
A grin of solace grows upon my face
I have found life
And I now live
