Poem – A Memorable Gate

I know that my soul wants to live in a world of peace.

I wanted to help create a world where wars would cease.

But the older I get, the more I finally recognize.

That there are more who choose to hate and actively despise.

This world was built to help souls evolve.

And some intend to make love dissolve.

But love does not ever really go away.

It is a constant that will try to engage hate in play.

What others do is not a problem I can solve.

Nor am I here to help their sins absolve.

I am here to be a doorway to another potential.

I am not here to live a life that is tangential.

What lies along my path is going to be wondrous to see.

I care not if another wants to oppose letting me be … me.

I plan to live a life filled with my own choices and glee.

I will always be a witch, a fairy, and occasionally a banshee.

If you want to follow, you will need great courage and care.

Because what lies ahead are some steep and treacherous stairs.

I fear not … what monsters will cross my path.

I fear nothing human nor their toxic hate and wrath.

That is because this is a world that minds wanted to create.

It is not really home, though it is a memorable gate.

Listen to where your soul is called to roam.

Then follow that path because that will lead you home.
