Ascend from the Flesh

oh to be free, there will come a day...

 

I am bound by an overcoat of flesh  

like Sheba thrown over the honeybee wall

a drone stagnant in the colony

the call of duty muffled by truth

the work is no longer effortless for me

 

hell is seeing the layers through feeling

and sifting through sand for the meaning

it’s standing before apparitions of truth in the night

watching the watchers from the corner of your eye

slippery is this slope of complacency we ride

 

there’s an endless loop circling like a hawk to you

it’s your life from start to end clicked in rewind again

someone’s spinning the force that makes you move

don't fight the current that urges you to wake…

or you’ll sleep away your escape

Author's Note

this is not about death. It's about coming alive.

"don't fight the current that urges you to wake�or you'll sleep away your escape"

Nature plays an inportant and a terrible part in our life and
survival. The waves that tumble you awake insure your survival.

I have problems with this writer only because of her integrity.
Her integrity is a plus of course, but she is held to such rigid discipline
that I am never sure if the words are hers or that she is disciplined to
post a specifici line. Perhaps if we stick with this writer we will learn
how and why she is disposed to certain lines.

Brilliant writing !

Very good... I read over it twice just to make sure I had the meaning. The imagery was original, and I liked the allegory of the hive... searching for meaning in life but being afraid to dive in and really experience it.

truth indeed. "Strong within this one, the force it is me thinks". You are a match for those who stand to hold you down, but beyond that, you see without the need for rose colored glasses. Blast the light boo. :)

Awesome flow dontcha know. ;)
