My Return

My Return

In my mind I’ve been away
From the way that I’ve seen in my direction
My chosen goals have been scrambled in space
Lost along the race as I ran hard to improve my finishing position
All the time I’ve had the best in mind as I focused my mission
But gave away my attention on hopeless causes and reachless intentions
Ready to return to my place
I forgot the reason for me to go back
So I ended up forgetting how to interact
With what made me that survivor in the traumatic
And leader in my solo pack
Now I’ve rewritten my personal pact
Using my racked up bottled battle scars
As fuel to fly me back to myself

Who I lost on my return

Serious Work

Yes Beloved;

You seemed to employ here what I value most in poetry, but do not always follow myself - ECONOMY OF WORDS -

This piece is the epitomy of that - Bless Up - Good Work


More Life, More Love

Introspective, and soulful

I love truth...that's in-deep and automatically self-rescuable.

You left for the "salary" of your place to return.

Jah-Green,

It's possible that you had everything at your location...
