It comes down to
A moment
A decision
That sets in motion
A domino effect
That over time
Is your Life
While there are a constellation of variables
And numerous circumstances
Outside your control
You are graced with
Free will
And you choose
Whether and how to use it
Whether or not
You’re aware of it
Moving through time and space
With a central operating principle
That guides you
Determines your conceptualization of
And interplay with
What faces you
In turn
Determining the outcome
That shapes your world
Listen
I heeded the call
Of my Soul
Even as you tried
To shatter and destroy Her
In the false name of Love
Even as you actively forbade me
From rising above
I created a shelter for Her
Protected Her
Unleashed Her
In Pure Form
When the time was right
I bow to no idols
And that means
Listen
