A TOAST

I sipped it dark and bitter today
though it does not reflect my days
more likened to the past I left behind
where the one eyed king is blind...

I have my ways written in rhyme
hope and hell given to the masses
they hold my words,
poured into Crown Glasses
I am separated into classes
they, kings blind of my passion
I am in my ways...

blissfully, I have connected spiritually
written in native tongues
my ghosts sit with me
they drink of me,
for we share the same cup,
creatively...
of what is written in blood.

A powerful poem. Some ghost stay with us till the end. I like the emotion and the story in the poem. Last line made the poem complete. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poem.

of what is written in blood.
yes what is written in our linage is in our blood family...
yes the ghosts do share that which they passed on karmically
that which they left to us to finish.. or set a new course with..
Dharma is the name of our spiritual goals..and karma the path shared.
excellent write My brother.
