THE FOREVER WITHIN #

Folder: 
JOURNAL #35

in these flesh house cages

we maneuver through

love must gather itself

and propel its goodness

outward unto

the dark cold ledges

of a fearful world

we think and have movement

giant dirty blankets

housing perfect

figures of artful life

and this greatness in each of us

never dies

never complains

never hurts

never insults

some believe these

tattered sacks

are the true selves

and  hold them up

in such high value

is a frightful idea

that too many subscribe to

is done out of the ego's fear

of losing that physical identity

and being lost

to beauty truth

our cornerstones of worship

try so hard in all their own

flawed beliefs

to make us aware of

we are not who we think we are

and identifying with the masked flesh

the world speaks with

does a serious injustice to

'The Forever Within'

that exits this realm

far faster than it ever entered.....................
