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
