Open your arms to change but don’t let go of your values.
Dalai Lama
Moving On
Primordial life - raw, free, unfettered, carved.
A stranger to this emotion, enslaved by code, expectation, role.
An elder’s pedantic plodding, a heedful, hardy soul.
Servile to all, honour bound.
I long to cast aside this choking cloak of conformity,
Liberate mind and soul ensnared by birth the onerous duty of an elder child.
Aged eyes, righteous nature, forever forthright,
Fastened fist tight in a heart and mind burning to break free.
New age is tempered with courage, honesty, bringing self appreciation,
Freedom and Peace.
The chains though imposed, rusted by time, crust with memories.
It is best to leave all-behind.
