Sovereignty of Self

STEP BACK, DEAR ONE

Strip yourself bare.

Leaving only you.

The material of mind.

Historic reels to cycle through.

Cloaked in the fabric of your stories.

Wishing the fibers

Contain the threads.

To follow back, to a soul.

Undead.

Step back, dear one.

Take time with the raw.

To listen closely.

Your truth calls.

Breathe into this space

Of your own pure force.

Finding here, your own guide.

To correct your life’s course.

Walk slowly, my dear.

Too fast and you won’t notice.

The sprouting growth

Of one seed emergence.

The seeds we plant.

Will grow.

Sewing only the one

Fitting our individual flow.

Step back from it all.

Artificial. Masked. Overly curated.

A form, un-indoctrinated.

We are nature.

Living in cycles.

Evolving here and now.

Take heed. Take Action.

Onward and inward we go.
