Self
A convo with the self. Last piece in The New Covenant
Let’s go on this journey
you and I.
Let’s live these decisions
and grow the pieces-of-life
which sprout
from such internal
fantasies.
.
It is the beginning,
you feel it now. You've been
born again, Don't think
too much on how
.
it happened or where
you've been. There
are tokens and gems
lined along the journey
between now and then.
.
The burning streets you walk
The flaming songs you sing,
.
which play
on inside yourself,
.
hear them as they play
different songs,
.
lead you to different
gatherings of people
that can fulfull
your real purpose.
.
Let these stars, Kerouac's stars
let them burn, burn, burn,
.
so bright, they light the way
to every decision
you need to make
to free you of your bonds
.
and guide you to parts
of yourself that allow you
.
to be that purpose.
Live that purpose.
Fulfill that purpose.
.
The New Covenant,
the Covenant that played
in your dreams.
.
The one where
Isaac, that second child,
bled on the stone
at Mount Hood.
.
Let this New Covenant play
in full force, let it consecrate
your days and let your prayers
.
consecrate this Covenant
as you dream
such star filled
dreams,
.
of pirates, fairies, dragons
with clocks in their mouths,
.
new openings,
new dance floors
to hear the beat,
new lovers,
with a gender that completes
the complexity
of who you are.
.
Find that identity,
forged in fire
tempered in the waters
of change,
.
and the suicide of old myths,
and the aftermath of living
your true life.
.
Let these thoughts guide your way
out of this terrible night
