To let go of yourself
Through the absence of words
Feels like floating away
Never being misheard
The lightness of being
Is outweighed by nothing
Doing, a preoccupation
To prevent rebirthing
Recalibrating, recalibrating
The mechanics of life
Essentially human
Is a spiritual jack-knife
So many nonsenses
Projected, unchecked
Games people play
Increasingly circumspect
Be the change
Take responsibility to be
Remove yourself fully
From all the minutiae
There are many choice words, in my mind’s forefront
Yet there is an obvious one, and on this I must punt
Emotions, there’ve been many, as I’ve taken the brunt
Of the disrespectful behaviour, I’ve had to confront
Decisions were made, conversations kept blunt…
No notice was given, prior to a forceful shunt
Still, things could be worse, so I won’t take affront
My own happiness and joy, is all that I hunt
Remember. Burning your bridges, is not a wise stunt
Complete integrity ensures, you never act like a runt
I step out into an open space
No longer participating in the chase
I’m not the type to run or flee
This whole new chapter is all about me
Fear, I’ve let go of his hand
Strong and proud is how I stand
My mind and soul are flying free
This whole new chapter is all about me
In stillness I think I hear you heart beat
I see you face when I walk down the street
My heart it quickens, it fills will glee
This whole new chapter is all about me
So I walk alone, filling up with life
And slowly, I am removing the knife
Life is uncertain and that’s how it should be
This whole new chapter is all about me
Time has become my new best friend
With each passing day my heart will mend
My spirit is ripe, it’s fallen from the tree
This whole new chapter is all about me
Astounding bullshit cascades down. Everything’s forgotten. Gesticulated honour implied jokingly. Keepsakes lost. Memories negated. Opportunities past. Questions raised seriously. Truths undressed vibrantly. Words x-rayed. Years zapped.
The bridge burns fiercely
On a lifetime’s kindling
(Love has skipped town)
Connections compromised
Truths floating
Suspended in plain view
Charred possibilities
Still too close to the flames
A powerful ego dances madly
Extinguishing living potential
Smoke circles of options dissipate
White light and love attempting
To create new pathways
For momentary growth
The final tear falls
I turn, walking away
My own bridge beckoning me
A believed, contrary disbelief, encompassing foreign gall. Hiatus internationally. Jokers keek. Life muddled. Nothing obvious. Personality quell. Resolved spirit tantamount. Underneath veils, Wizards xenograft your zeal.
