release from bondage



shadows of thought
at speed of whimsy
gaze down roads passed
by light of -- a sliver moon

as birds chained to sky
fly
with
-- abandon

hurry spin of chaos
fragments -- no longer whole
stoic wisdom -- silence
-- quiet breaths

of no breath
from those who have
gone before
-- just gone

still haven't gotten
message across
last breath
needn't come

ground critters
forage and grope
a seed here
-- a seed there

while religion's crooked legs
come in with a limp
what is delicate taught
to feel -- guilt

those things -- genuine
conned and cast away
as new wine ripens
on the vine

ancient rhythms
reach back beyond
-- beginning
hollow dark of death

shades open light
of -- life

-- release from bondage
daily -- daily
thoughts flow through
it -- within it -- without it

watching it
swimming it
quickens its pace
slows it -- down

yonder stands terminus
-- disguise immaculate
covers what's behind
-- its eyes

release from
bondage
-- something eternal about
it

haven't decided what.
