Excerpt
Morning Blue
I drift within the late night shallows,
caught in tides of unending turmoil,
vigor driven like a mad parable,
busting until the pain over takes me.
I collapse before my guilded gate,
let through this barrier of self-pity,
standing back to regroup its latch
drops, my barricade flies from it’s hinges.
release scatters my emptiness into the
never-ending, in twisting turning redemption,
only to fall again into self-loathing,
again, I take up arms with catapult extended
letting loose my dignity.
I am only here to influence and be influenced,
all other goals are but emotions lost on
the winds of change, I kneel before the eye
of acceptance and ask to be blind to man’s
unending folly.
my neighbor is my reflection, my enemy
but a glimpse into my former, for me to
judge I must look past my calm and become
my enemy, become my self-loathing, tread
upon loose sand.
I pass beyond self-doubt into self-awareness,
judgment ceases to capture my doubt, the vines
of understanding reach beyond my awakening
into the spheres of knowledge and truth,
I wake to a beautiful day, somewhere
Beyond the Blue Door.
