Elements Of The Mind

Headlines of judgement Across the gates of Heaven Se; f-consciously reporting The errors of my deeds... I can visit sometimes Though I am still a guest Of human transgression- I know someday, when I die, There will be a way To follow through- To leave behind the sin And enter freely in- But today I must return Scarred by the evidence Of my imperfection! Witnessing this side Of immortality, I seem to walk endlessly Preferring to find my way Than be taken there Through the tunnels Of the Earth! But I cannot move Without consequence Or think clearly Without some disturbance Clinging like lint To the fabric of my mind! For God's sake-leave me alone! The battle isn't even Between me and the World- It is in another dimension Otherwise reprehended Except for the vision Of mortal action! Those harbingers of revelation Insist upon the will, A duty foreign to the skill Of man-unquestionably Waiting to be fulfilled! Romeo Della Valle (c) All rights reserved-2013 New York City
