New poem: "All We're Meant to Be"

 

All We’re Meant to Be

 

Alright, I’m going to say it. God,

how long I’ve been putting this off

for fear of my presumption, but I have

to declare it: I no longer live in the same

world as you. There, I’ve said it. Your

world smothered my soul with the blight

of too much, and how so much I needed

relief. Then I heard the call and found the

secret way out of your world, and here

I am today, in the light of common day,

living my life the same as you but no

longer blind to life’s sacred purpose to be

all we’re meant to be; and despite life’s

cruel ingratitude, I bless you on your

destined journey to selfhood.

 

Composed in Tiny Beaches,

Georgian Bay, Southcentral, Ontario
