Realization

Faith, I bide you farewell

Wishful prayers, be  release- 

it's clarity I seek-

reality and

acceptance of what life

has in store for me...

What my heart longs,

It is not in my destiny.

This journey , it is not

for the scoring,

but a redemption of self

and repayment of debts 

still owing....

Have you not pluck me from

the heights

to walk upon  humble plains

Oh how  you  starve my ego

and chasten me time and again...

I have tasted the salts from mine eyes, 

too many locked doors  frustrates me

My heart bleeds, my vision dims....

I cannot fight what is predestined-

Faith!  I release  your virtues

let it return to you....

Life's  puzzle must be completed

in concrete 

and in ways, it was meant to be...
