I just gave a speech this morning,
about how the ordinary best friend
I have named Sam.

Guided me to my light
Reminded me who I am.
Enlightenment is the term I use,
Hoping to not sound like a sham.
I just knew it when I knew it.
The experience was
everything
I am.

And I look at these photos from the link above,
feeling compassion,
sadness,
and burning love.

My dreams are not to be graded
or judged,
or have others love me
because of what my words
touched.

My dream is to do everything little thing
In my power to make your soul sing.
To make you open up your eyes,
if life, for you, is just a guise
you have yet to realize.
We too were hypnotized
by societal lies.

But from the ashes the phoenix doth rise,
freed from the cycle of rebirth,
he takes to the skies.
