Barefoot Journey I

Barefoot Journey I

A Poem by Prophet In The Making
"

A piece out of an abandoned project where I had people give me 10 random words to create a poem. This would have been the introductory piece.

"

My barefoot travels at midnight

leave me moved to become a 

being of Omnipotence.

However, during the day,

that elegant feeling fades away,

as I wake up to a world of 

Normality. 


In a world full of complacent pigs,

I struggle to evolve and transform

into the beautiful, black bat

that moves and follows the 

sound of the earthly vibrations.


So, I try to remove, redefine, and

reimage myself as I walk around

in my commonplace, tattered 

Air Jordan 1’s;

Praying for the night

to surround me so I can kick off my shoes,

and plunge into a futuristic scene,

where my damaged soul can listen

to the crashing noise that is:


Sea against Shore.

Light against Dark.

Meteor against Earth…


And be healed as I return to the present,

to finally obtain the four qualities of Omnipotence:


Patience, Love, Joy, and Uniqueness.
