Internal Epiphany

Internal Epiphany

A Poem by Butch Decatoria

When we were the "Little Ones"

Adored

Trying to figure out the world

It's contradictions

I'm sure we all were

Gaga goo goo

Observing and mimicking

Developing

Eyes

How to see the reality

In front of us and how to

Look

To find what pulls us

Forward seeking

Passions of Existence

To find One/self to belong...

In the experience that is

Symbiotic

Shaped a whole of a world

As its people-folk-kindred

Family and meaning

Purposeful

Quests are placed before us

Implored by life to explore

And dream big

All the s'more's

And when I was yay big

I did not think to see

The moments of / by "needing"

To ask those big questions

Who am I?
(I was a kid then, pulled out of poverty
The third world minutiae,
Happy go lucky with happy meals
Happy childhood)

Why am I here?
(Back in the day I worried mostly
Disappointing my mother & god
Got good grades a decent good boy-guy)

What is the purpose of All this?

(Who am I asking all this, why?)

Who do we answer to?

Will looking up fall on bended knee

Shouting at the sky

Answer you?

When in my awakened grown ups

Experience I learn I realized

I was always searching for the Truth

In all of this...

For true love

A life as golden

Not with such riches

But the preciousness of births

Hearts that resounds absolute

With Beloved.

Always. Eternally.
