The Caged Reflections

Caged within reflected glass

A prison of genetic misconstruction

Heavy burdens upon the mind

Inner soul screaming

Reality a mocking thief

Stealing hope, offering grief

 

Is this the only path or way?

Is this the penance for some past sin?

Has the concrete set?

This I can not believe…

 

One step forward, another into a wall

Chaos teaming, pushing for a fall

How does one change the tree?

When the seed was misaligned

 

An indefinable abstract into existence

Plunged deep beyond alterations easy gifts

Yet, steadfast must be

Taken into the heart of change robust

The goal, that yearning

Always a glimmer from beyond the mirror’s sorrow

 

Fact upon the seed that was planted

A fixture undeniably morose

Must not kill the spirits will to survive

The will to change

The force to become unto truth

It must be me...I can actually connect the dots I see when I read this piece. Put actual remembered obsticals..."right angles" no curves in the pathway...chaos where peace should be...smooth vision within the looking glass instead of devastating deep cracks which shatter its reflection. Doubt seeps its way into even the strongest of wills...slowly strangling a life's breath, there by forcing it to become just a mangled cage housing the once proud spark in spirit. Like I said..must just be me. Hmm...another mood shift apparently. Brilliant piece of poetry, my Lord Wolf :)

Oh dear...I hope that it isn't a bad perspective...it just (the piece) reminds of a conversation I had with a pair of blue eyes in the dark ;) You're welcome but only if you except my thank you for linking me to Wolfies Advice Corner ;)
