The Enemy within


 

Holy habits expansion of desires,

commercial attributes by mental wires.

Manipulated senses to be passive,

ghosts of egos worship becoming flaccid.

The tongue of flame speaking the truth,

defending the wind of dejected blues.

Domains in denied mysteries,

lost by democratic dynasties.

The secrets and its depth,

attachments with every breath.

Purpose stolen fulfillment,

expressions in theatrical figment.

Humiliated conscience dims,

the radiance of countenance whims.

Realized deeds upon one self effect,

emerges new outlook opens true respect.

The seekers truth is not another,

individual fuel for virtue’s fire.

Subtlety is the art of intelligence,

echoes of own natures reference.

The mental prison as the enemy,

raised or cast spirits by action agree.

Every soul has its own way to be,

or one must borrow others eyes to see.

Only refined manner with sincerity,

create a living art of dignity.

https://robertrittel.blogspot.com Living virtualistic through myself. The road I wanted to follow choose me and I can see the cosmos to know itself. I remember only moments where my actions manifested the belief of my passion, choosing my next universe through what I have learned in this one. My fears got lost in dreams, sensing what needed to be done with no thinking. I believe in fairy tales, especially with dragons and how to tame them. I do not need any strange faith to worship that celestial brilliance. Dismissing everything what insults my soul and faithful in those small things, because it is in them where our strength is.
