No Fear To VanishA Poem by Scott LeeI wrote this with a feeling of wanting to break out of myself, to become something amazing.
I have a desire to prowl fresh lagoons untouched by treachery in a visceral cloud-land I dare to float to make good dreams bloom true for you to activate tight connections across vast distances, to spread seeds on strong winds and plant vivid colors of truth and freedom. My roots will not be lifted my timber hidden in cloud caps my heart is a lost notebook found on golden sands by blue waters waiting for a zen master to take over where i can't begin
My master is trapped in mist that poured from my own breath into a lost forest, sometimes I catch His echoes in phrases and places too foggy to remember i seek oracles amidst cataclysmic landscapes of greed and corruption waiting for an opportunity to slither through the factions and charge them all with ABUSE OF POWER and TOTAL INJUSTICE
I've been searching hard for Ezekiel's exuberant fire digging and working through clutters of Heart entanglement I'm still sifting through yards of sea weed and self-worth trying to work out the kinks and slime whenever magic moons rise I get an urge to gallop through the fade-less light no bounds to hold me no doubts to sight me no laws to encumber me no assassin's cold steel to blunder my free progress through Beauty's night
Can I find a fresh lagoon so I can be exonerated? So I can stop rising in hot Fahrenheit? I find their conspicuous eyes unsettling their insidious deeds a tragic fire of the soul that only true justice can make perish. If only words could save me I would drift in that lost notebook on free waters becoming Ezekiel's fire for some aspiring writer to find let him gaze the words so his heart and soul ignite let his eyes reflect 1000 suns and burn down all corrupted rungs
Do not let your timber smolder Do not be turned by truth smugglers who peddle off to the next town leaving ash and sand behind them.
When I met the Captain of my soul He told me " If you speak the truth then Have No Fear To Vanish" So I went to the woods to meditate and try to rebuild all that was taken away from me all the hopeless slums that shot me and caused me to be buried by Avalanche
All the heart-break I carefully stitched back together with a reclaiming fire not of this world I let its secrets torch me in my silent mind Rebuild me Rebuild me my screaming whispers repeated
There in the red dust of my nothingness, where bright worlds once smiled and thrived I heard the drum beats start their rhythm I saw an outcast rider smiling in the distance his cool mind dripping jewels behind him lighting his path in magic entry
When I caught the sparkle from his Captain eyes, I was suddenly uplifted by his enduring strength, good heart, simple truth, and soul beauty. It was then I knew I would charge full speed into a firing squad armed with a shovel or nothing at all, if it came down to it. Yes I knew I would die for him.
As the late-night thought rose up toward the indifferent stars, the summer night with its simple sounds surrounding, I was shocked to feel the sharp intensity, and an unquenchable thirst for this moment to come. It went beyond words, but a powerful pull inside me drove the reins to this love of duty. I yearned for the moment like a kid yearning for a new toy. I burned for it, to die in a final sound of gun-roar and barbarian screams, in a perpetual quest for freedom, truth and justice.
I had no Fear to vanish.....
