When these feelings
deeper than mere intimations
can take hold so easily and derail the positive
glow, so painstakingly being allowed to shine
And when it is “all your fault”
(and it is, make no mistake, although not in the shameful ways you are imagining)
then there is something to be said for the bleeding embers of twilight
the sunset sky
the evil lurking around every corner seems
to subside to the warm logic of freedom
And all your mistakes
your invisible leanings and longings
the patterns of nothing more than cries for...
anything
discover themselves
Well, in this light I am rendered.
And that is enough.
Now get some rest.
Big things lie ahead.
Songs of battles deemed impossible to win.
Of which you are already the victor.

Thought provoking piece of poetry! I found you through a resteem. And, wow, residing in Japan. That must be rather a challenge coming from the west? I'm South African (sadly corrupt and returning to third world status)

Thank you very much. I actually feel much more free here than I did in the US. That surprises a lot of people, but I find that I can basically live as a please here in many senses, and people generally just mind their own business. I'm so sorry to hear about what is happening in South Africa. I wish the media would cover the story more, but they are already bought and paid for...

@kafkanarchy84,
Salutations! JaiChai here.
Awesome post.
It reminded me to be on the lookout for the breadcrumbs along the way that were specifically placed in my path.
They hide in plain sight, just waiting for me to discover them. Who left them, you ask?
My future, better self, of course!
Very cool musings, my friend.
May you and yours be well and love life today.
Namaste, JaiChai
