Ready

There are no flames

in the distance.

.

The apocolyptic fires

of the lost self are gone.

.

I am grounded,

in the present.

.

My allies are strong,

and stand steady.

.

My fear is minimal,

and in check.

.

My vision is clear,

I see for miles.

.

my heart is full,

robust, and gives.

.

I am unmoved,

and ready.

.

my perception

is born, of hidden secrets.

.

I don't know

what monsters hide

behind the corners

of small things,

.

But I lean towards

the days.

.

of the future self.
