the reinvention of self is the embodiment of the tower
\na daring endeavor, the stripping of a life, fully shed<\/p>\n
to intentionally renounce all that isn’t serving – deserving better
\nprospects drip honey gold incandescent, horizons beg, dawnings beckon
\ndistantly, homelands insistent, roaring orange unfolding<\/p>\n
it will all be brought to ground, leveled traceless in time’s embrasure
\nstories unfamiliar, free, released from finite memory<\/p>\n
then embark on unmarked roads – absolved, asphalt optional
\nyou’ll tear a hole straight through, intently escorted by desert skies<\/p>\n
carry on, sinuously, led by intuition
\nthe miracle of reinvention, of a self – embodying the tower<\/p>\n
you will be brought to ground, safely traceless in time’s embrasure
\nclaim sanctuary, become undone, adopt versions once discarded
\nforgotten,\u00a0never known, the selves preserved, selves undefiled – waiting<\/p>\n
will you be waiting too – occupying terminals,
\nholding up a mirror, without a sign, without a name<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
