A Soul's Yearning Burning

It is Thought transformed into Action that makes the Phoenix take Wing........

Long Standing little Cruelties

Wear you down

Break you down

Bring you to deep Suffering and Despair

Drip, drip R-r-r-r-r-ip

At the Seams of a Heart, Mind and Soul

Can turn a Being into a Weary Wanderer

Wondering what the Purpose

That they were so-o-o-o certain of

At one Time in this Life really Is ?

Or ever really Was ?

Or ever is really To Be ?

A Questing Sojourner

Searching to Define

And Re-Define

And Re-Re-Define

What the Meanings and Purposes

Of their particular little Energy Form is all about

“This little Light of Mine

I’m gonna’ let it Shine”

But first

I’ve gotta’ get out from underneath

This dark, heavy and suffocating Bushel

I’m EnSlaved under and within

Then I can Begin

I Can Begin

Perhaps, if my Life Force

Burns Brightly and Elucidatingly enough

I can Burn

This ‘ole EnSlaving Bushel 

Down to the ground

To Flying, Floating cinder and dust

And Escape to

Fresh Air

Freedom of Movement and Thought

And the Great Sparkling Cosmos

Surrounding little ‘ole me

Just me

Prick, stick and lick the wounds

That Bind me

And hold me down and away

From parts of my Brighter

More Noble

More Loving

More Kinetic and Truer Self

That Self that I put on the Shelf

Because I grew tired and discomfited

By Constant Cruelties and Disappointments

Great and Small

Of MySelf and Others

Or the Gravitational Pulls and Pushes

Of Energetic Caprice

That grab hold of our Life Forces 

From Time to Time

With no apparent Reason or Rhyme

Of course

The Blame Game has value sometimes

Name the supposed Villain

The Dis-ease

The Dis-energy

Call it Out

And put on the squeeze

But the tease

The Rub is in the Knowing

Because to Change

To Transform

To yearningly Burn

The Knowing must be Acted upon

And oh, those who are weary and worn

Sometimes

Loose the Ability to Act

And that is why we Need

Why we Seek out and Seek to Be

Champions

Heroes

Saviors

Movements

Causes

To ignite our little Lights

Into Brilliant Flames

Of the Resurrecting

And Re-Resurrecting

And Re-Re-Resurrecting Transformative Phoenix

A Soul’s Burning Yearning for……………
