The Author of My Fate...

The Author of My Fate

He walks the path of the Single Life,

Unanchored, guarded, and apart,

He builds a wall against the strife

To shield his hesitant, holding heart.

He clings to shadows in the dark,

And waits for time to set him free,

While trying to suppress the spark

Of what he fears that we could be.

But I aspire to higher ground,

Above the mixed and muted keys,

Where absolute alignment's found

And power bends the ancient trees.

I will not wait for veils to fall,

Or shrink my light to fit his pace,

I hear a deeper, wilder call

That lifts me to a sacred space.

I collaborate with Spirit now,

To weave the stars into my hands,

I make a bold, unbroken vow

To build upon forgotten lands.

I am the author of my fate,

The wild creation, fierce and free,

I close the heavy, locked-up gate

And shape my own great destiny.
