The life Extraordinary

A poetry of Becoming. (For Natasha Collazo's Poetry month challenge).

By Antoni De'LeonPublished 2 years ago • 2 min read

A dream ignites in the quiet night....as Ordinary fades***

A bugle sounds the call to rise, to break from the herd.

Escape the routine, transcend...let sparks take flight,

BECOME***

It takes me now to where

Thoughts transcend the norm

To Untamed skies, uncharted stars...

Carving a path through doubt and tears.

I embrace anew, the chaos, the beauty, the strife.

The life extraordinary is wholly mine to conquer.

++

Today, I awakened wanting, needing***MORE

Far more than my mortal coil can ever offer

I want, need*to live the life***EXTRAORDINARY

Raise myself up from the banality of***OBSCURITY

Live my dreams***UNAPOLOGETICALLY

Fight for enlightenment***FIERCELY

I want to fly to the moon, pluck it from the elusive sky

Explore the outer spaces, where nothingness exists

Far beyond my limited understanding

Let me burrow deep into the earth's core

Discover wonders where none have gone before

I want to feel the God-like essence of my inner being

Breathe the breath of the gods

Taste the power, see the colors of the universe unfold

Fulfill my vast potential with my every waking breath

I yearn to touch the very pulse of my existence

Let me reach the Zen of my promised ***IMMORTALITY

For if I am made in the image of my creator

Somewhere inside me is the key to my God-self

I must find the answer to unlocking my full***POTENTIAL

Why is my 'all' shrouded within this frail and disposable shell

Must I walk the path of mortal man forever, locked in misery

Or will my essence be released, my eyes opened

My body and spirit becoming one with***EVERYTHING

Give me wings like the angels, why am I not pinioned

I can feel my phantom wings, I have tried to fly

I need, crave, dream, pant with the desire

To soar high up to the heavens and into the beyond

For there must be more*more*far more than I can imagine

Let me Unleash my***POTENTIAL...Please...

If only for a minute, a day, a year, or life everlasting

Mankind has committed atrocities in the name of

and in search of***IMMORTLITY...

That innate desire to be a**GOD-BEING

Today, I understand the yearning urge to be ***MORE

It churns like a cyclone screaming for release

I go now in search of***IMMORTAL completeness AND PEACE LIKE A RIVER FLOWING FROM MY VERY SOUL

I must find it, it is my imperative, my peremptory task

Before this mortal shell deserts me***COMPLETELY

And I pass into***THE NOTHINGNESS OF THE UNKNOWN!!!

My metamorphosis of writing

Lifts my mind and soul to the great euphoria...

finally free

I rise!!!
