Personified

I.

In this mistake, I am personified -

To try and shatter the long lines

of restrictive reality - I move

backward - To when I was asleep

and for good or ill - I could fight

to save magic.

II.

In this observation, I am personified -

To see sun-lined clouds

and believe wholeheartedly

That I don't know what's behind them.

III.

In this realization, I am personified -

A Man shows his worth in few things-
To keep confidence, To
be able to be counted on,
The ability to make a stand -
And to love unconditionally.
I'm still working on all of them.

IV.

In this truth, I am personified

That no matter how hard I try,

I will never be able to go back

To when life was simple,

And I had no real words for beauty.
