Mapping Of The Soul


Lighting has accrued
Static is in the air
Movement taking place
My soul is shifting
As though the ground
Were giving way

Valleys appear upon
Palette of my soul
Cracks running deeply
To the very marrow
Scanning familiar ground
Finding all has changed

Age has little to do
With mapping taking place
Strong willed and confident
Knowing I alone have
Power over my soul
But I was mistaken

Not liking the territory
I will have to start charting
My own courses in life
Being held to ground which
I sit stagnate without clear
Direction is not for me

We became united
But you hold all maps and keys
Suggesting a course to take
Not an option in you eyes
I could go on weathering
Tempest-storm taking all blame

Enlightenment is upon me
Seeing falling stars wishing
For smoother plains to travel
I’m being charged demanding
There be a change in status
And have control of my soul


By, Cerenity

To be enlightened is truly a glorious feeling, isn't it? Once you know yourself, you can do anything. Nice write.

Cerenity, I loved this, the mapping of our souls, to gain access to our very being. Beautifully written.
