Reclamation

November 20th, 2024

Between the shadows of a shifting world,
Covered by the cold of a dawn that holds no promise,
Where perfunctory mannerisms,
Styled in bejewelled and beguiling silks,
Are stripped away in the wildest energy of a disrupting storm,
Uncontrollable and indestructible.

A reacquaintance then begins in the purity of an unsettling calm,
Establishing a rediscovery of the true character,
—Held within the vestibules of a sacred integrity,
Guarded closely by moons of wisdom and stars of revelation,—
Whose opposing qualities must be faced directly, without shame or denigration.

Only then, will the flow of a judicious reclamation,
Surpass the vessels of empty words and emanations,
Overriding previous misdirected hopes and desires,
To bring the destined to a life of depth, fullness and glory.

Sincerely, in truth
SC
