Autonomy

 


Autonomy


(A lone voice whispers)


Is your soul littered with hot and cold fragments of your own ideas of heaven and hell?


But are you too metaphorically blindfolded to ever really understand? 


Just another human being living within and under its light and dark, magical spell


Slowly unconsciously waiting for the spiritual comprehension 


As it returns from the ashes of your intimate universe's dust


To really then see

All that your life will see


While praying to your Lord of choice 


The one you trust 


A Great Almighty who will try to set you free


To then be

All you can be 


Reflected in the endless unregulated themes found gasping for air


 In that six-letter word you cherish—called poetry
