Reborn

Downhearted slump
Mind can’t shift pass an emotional speed bump
Which continues to lump me over an addictive hump
I chose to step down off my throne
Pleasure seeking in the jungle where the nature of a hungry beast silently roams
 
Eyes closed in the dark trying to find my way back home
I have left the cold winds and the turbulent storms behind
It’s time for my temple, heart, and mind to align
Peace and comfort rediscovered of yesteryears
No more tissue, eyes devoid of meaningless tears
I need some form of mental clarity while on the run
A hideaway, where no one moves, not even the rotation of the sun
 
No baggage, no attachments, just intellectual desires to keep my thoughts warm
A moth to the flame almost had me torn
Lyrical bling like jewels once adorned
Caterpillar to a beautiful butterfly has been reborn
Soaring higher
Fate, Destiny, and Karma the rapture if my soul will never tire
My last breath only God gets that expire  
 
Echoes on Jasmine fragrance laden air
Settled wings, now residing on a hope and a prayer
No Band-Aid to fit an emotional bleed
Who knows were the winds will take my needs
I looked over the mountaintop
So serene to the optical senses, you could hear a pin drop
Doves flew in the distance past the horizon
Whispers serenading from above, advising me to stand strong
Write your own song
 
The wonderment of life washed over me
My thoughts stretched out as far as the rainbow could see
Naked reflection stared me down
Mental assessing me, absence of sound
Spiritually repairing my inner groove
Second chance to redeem myself given as life’s balm has finally soothed
