life has so many twists and turns

i wouldn’t suggest that i understand

things that seem logical today

tomorrow i find absurd

i am indeed a work in progress

i see no end in sight

somewhere in the distance

there remains that soft purple light

i make no claims of insight

i can only address my walk

it has taken me from absolute darkness

to a light filled with life

not labeling myself a scholar, a seeker perhaps at best

the greatest gift I have received is one that was taken away

to be relieved of the ”bondage of self” and to know what it means

to be ”free”
