Knowledge;
The intangible understanding of reality and perception;
The pervasive reaction to habitation within oneself;
The creation of immortality and life without breath;
Indiscriminate
Involuntary
Indescribable

My past mistakes are past me
My present ones caught up
My future mistakes are metaphorical
In time, I’ll have made enough
Enough to be getting on with
I don’t need to look back no more
Ahead of me is growing brighter
So I’ll keep my eyes to the ground
To be sure
To be sure
Do I need words anymore?
Or is, perhaps, my meaning found?
Safely I stand not mourning
For I left with solid ground
Not for lack of trying, no
I test it everyday
And yet there is no hiding
What I learned along the way
Overwhelmed by the past that cut me
And used my innards for delicious meal
So when I encountered this future present
I discover how my wounds can heal
Planted like the flower
I grow stronger by the hour
I am larger than my worries
Yet I’m smaller than words
I hear the noise too much trouble
And it sounds like twittering birds
Hear the hollow home I’m leaving
To know the direction I’ll return again
I dance with you in my mind
Because I can’t be there, my friend
@SoulFullHyena Freedom! Freedom!
Is that all I have?!
Can I now live in what I can see?
The person once trapped!
The life that now lasts!
Will you claim it all?!
For I am myself!
For I am free!
@SoulFullHyena Every opportunity is still calling
There’s no wait for those that move
What changes doesn’t stay disaster
What grows from dirt
Becomes a healthier mood
We are not consumed by patterns
We are simply creators
@SoulFullHyena Twas it not the hand of death
Reaching for my unsure breath?
With bitter chides it reached again
And I danced around my determined friend
@SoulFullHyena And all the colors passed my eyes
And I believed I had grown wise
Yet when I blinked and looked around
No prizes I made were to be found
@SoulFullHyena He asked,
And so, I listened,
And what a tell he told,
Of lovers locked in towers,
Of heroes waiting to grow old,
Of space men cowboys,
Of sunken treasures,
Why, he’d voyaged on seas of stars!
But as story ended,
I told him, “Splendid!”
“I knew you’d be perfect as you are.”
@nikonikonek000 Lost within the dunes of recollection
Trapped within the filth and foul despair
Fermented by ignorance in ego’s isolation
The lamenter mourns
And stalks their lair.
Don’t forget.
You can’t always control it.
Don’t forget.
They are not you are not them.
Don’t forget.
Wishing isn’t trying.
Don’t forget.
Warmth isn’t shelter.
@SoulFullHyena When, then, is the best time to tell?
What lonely hour harbors home from hell?
What view verifying worth will safely sell?
Oh, Orpheus,
You will not see it happen
If you look back, as well.
