The journal I carry a journal full of dreams
a place where I write fate into being
a journal of free memories that caress the thighs of history
a place where the future awaits legacies from the hands of men enslaved by faith and its present day reality
this journal is a midwife of words delivered to expectant days
days that await the coming of fate
time bleeds
men seek peace
yet peace is still at war with a piece of itself
self remains absorbed in self sacrificial senselessness
so this journal is an altar of belief
a place where seeking pilgrims find the God of the universe in a verse that births word
this journal is a sacred song unsung
a will undone
a truth yet to be perceived |
