Upon this poem I entertain relief, From an uncertain journey with lack of reprieve. A prayer delivers the same result, A warmth in my being, an absolving of fault. My thoughts are freed from their hampered state, No longer caged by triviality or the dullness of fate. Daily routine had exiled imagination, But with this escape my thoughts upend reputation. The daily grind had dampened my soul, But looking toward heaven I envision being whole. So small a thing to provide such release, So fleeting a moment in a life so deplete. But itβs just enough to keep madness at bay, These times that I write and those times that I pray.
