The Root of my convictions

gerrylegister

Life begins many causes uncertain

But in faith start to draw the curtain,

And expose the root of my conviction,

Suspend the evidence on probation.

To relieve me of the threat in my head,

I am force to take up reasoning instead.

Rejected by friends by harsh tempest

I Pay the debt owe to society doing my best.

With better morality comes painful urge,

Wandering in blur visions looking to purge,

Deeds swept away from wise dry eyes,

Learning to control nightmares and tears,

Bound to live while there is still a little time 

With exchange heart and changes in mind,

Only memories bring the partial plague,  

Procreate events of danger and intrigue.

The secret lodge betwixt my old soul,

Light the rusty fuses that was dull.

And in my heart turn on the ignition,

Its direct powers root out my conviction.

Delayed success shall run rampant

In making priorities more important,

Embrace the dreams of last opportunity

Take pleasure now in things of beauty.

Than the misfortune first encountered

The things that charmed me most has halted

The flame runs unhindered through my head,

They will lay my soul asleep upon my dying bed.

    Deeds swept away from wise dry eyes,
