Souls Awaken Solace


Our rivers, as deep as our thoughts, as plagued as our journeys; to blend with oceans, pressured by experience, resisting such tender affections; while mercy shadowed plight, that obvious quirk, at war with façades; where justice is misconceived, and pain is but an offshoot—of something healed through obedience. He knew it early, this agitation, this inner battle; as confronted by life, this ageless warrior, as his countenance grew in energies: that crying soul, inhaling violence, avoiding intrusions; to greet in public, that probing mind, curious for private purposes.

He held an ideal, hindered by misconception, while mislead by a previous process: this lazy nature; that one lost in the herd; where routine takes leadership over differences. It becomes a riddle—feeding on paradox, a static rhythm of approaches; as enhancing in its nature, for one keen of mind, while another experiences pure frustration.
