Parts of me refuse to submitA
never to let tameB
Aiming to destroy AbleC
so only Cain will remainD
-
No need to discuss what'll bendE
let lesser partsF
be crushed till lights rendE
Kings of sweet soft and easeG
we serve till our endE
-
Where exploring's a sinH
and expedience reignsI
sacrificing tomorrowJ
to abolish all painsI
-
The creators' giftE
is twisted into a nooseK
artfully moldingL
suffering for personal useK
-
In utter darkness's infinite depthsM
Am I meN
DoubtsO
the beginningL
While underground forcesP
won't let beN
-
In thunder Wisdom speaksQ
When opposites turn equallyN
with an eye singleC
you'll seeN
suffering's the gateE
and the doubtsO
that are keyN
-
Wait it gets deeperR
HowS
DarkerR
ImpossibleC
Why nowS
And you say be still and AllowS
-
Have I cut the branch on which I've livedE
Of fallingL
will IT
could IT
ever be ridE
-
Will tension be heldE
allowing opposites' voiceU
Will light rend darkV
clarifying a choiceU
-
As a hatch ling tumblingL
for helpW
my beak singsX
Bringing other sharp talonsY
with encircling stingsX
as they pry openZ
my tormented wingsX
-
Why does falcon strike me between the hornsA2
while hardened branches stab me with thornsA2
-
Slashing shells from my eyesB2
giving light to seeN
Closer to my trunkC2
they lovingly nudge meN
-
They aren't adding pain to my pitiful body's rendE
Love opens my wings only feathers before I endE
-
With urgent speedE
over distance I climbD2
remembering homeE2
beyond realms of timeD2
-
Pains rainD
till rainbows pointE
where home's foundE
I finally can seeN
the path infinitely roundE
only beaks beforeF2
I slam into the groundE
-
Foolishness saysG2
the lower can fly to gainD
without any guidance or painD
But unknown unknowns will remainD
until illuminated in the absence of shameB
-
I've finally emerged to realizeB2
without a false bloodied disguiseB2
After dissecting woundsH2
most extensive in sizeB2
that throughI2
these shell free eyesB2
I can understandE
God's original guiseB2
-
Waves of struggle and peaceJ2
all meant to remindE
if in truthK2
you seekL2
then it's TruthK2
you'll findE
-
Between spaceM2
where the holy resideE
peacefully sayingL
hold on through high tideE
lookupN2
your supportedE
keep fighting urges to hideE
-
Befriend the anger used to searO2
it's your turn to reflectE
and become Lights mirrorR
So rise upN2
be the eagle and the waveP2
that darkness cowersM2
hiding and afraidE
Always rememberingL
you've been empoweredE
to Bind and to SaveP2
