Heavy - XS (good summer reads txt) 📗

Heavy it gets
The weight of the world
With all that attempts to
Bind the Conscience
And bring the Spirit down

At times I can’t help
But prepare for all the
Many things that may go wrong
All the many things
That are guaranteed to come

But when I take a step back
I realize that these foreseen realities
Are not for me to know
For the destiny is not yet written
The chapter has not yet closed

I must pull back
From catching rain drops of dread
Tapping at the thoughts
That lie hidden deep down
Within my head

If I stay focused on the future
I will miss the sight that is before me
I will forsake the blessings that surround me
I will add insult to injury
I will look back and regret the present now lost

For we are all on a journey with
Avenues of happiness
Alleys of despair
Highways of joy and streets that
At times seem to lead to nowhere

But I am here
At this intersection
Known as Now
And step by step
I must hold my ground

To know that my path is Sacred
Intended to sharpen
My Consciousness and
Cleanse my Soul
Prepare me for the transition
Where one day we must all go.
