The Crystal

I wasn't flying in space

nor was I devouring reality,

but I was breathing in the dense air.

Waves painted the horizon 

as I watched the shivering 

clouds-

There was serenity hiding

behind the yellow sun-

A tranquility which absorbed

my movement, my thought, my emotion.

Arms carried me towards 

the large crystal,

as I imagined my very being

dancing with the southern

wind like a petal, soaring

the great, blue sky.

Liberty had opened me like

a bursting glass-

For I had battled the cage with

valor, 

despite the burning

numbers before me.

Long ago, fear had become me.

I was alone-

An evergreen ending surrounded 

my past, as all I could do

was watch.

For my voice had been taken,

and my strength was lost.

But time came, 

and soon my divergent blood

would melt.

For it was red and thick,

and equal.

Look at my smiling lips,

and notice the guilt

swallowing you.

For you know your actions

are immortal, 

and now, this sin

is forgiven.

I liked the thoughts and the journey in the poem. I believe hardest one to forgive is ourselves.

I did like the above lines and the photo. Forgiveness is needed. Thank you my friend for sharing the amazing poetry.
