~ OPEN YOUR SOUL ~

{a personal prayer}

~ OPEN YOUR SOUL ~

Upon my knees
I shall go to the stream
To remove my many disguises...

Now, this day, 
I have come to reveal myself
For the fool I am,
For the man I have been,
And beg
For understanding,
For it was there
In my nakedness
That the gods
First birthed me 
Into this world
And, it is how I shall be presented
On judgment day,
It is the manner in which
I give and pray
That I will drink love in
With no disguises,
In flesh and blood alone,
And,
With a homemade purity
I will open my soul
To cosmic judgment,
And the penance,
I know,
I deserve...

Tony Taylor
* a personal prayer

Unfortunately we live in a world where we can only feel comfortable being ourselves in solidarity sometimes , very relatable write as I believe wether it’s intentional or unintentionally we all have fake personifications of who we think we need to be or how we want to be perceived. Excellent poetry as always Tony !

Such a humble, self searching write Tony. 
I love that you have written it as a prayer...an apology to God should one exist when really it is an apology to self, making peace with the soul. If we are here to learn lessons then this soul graduates with flying colours ...beautiful.write x

I firmly believe there comes a time when even hard line doubters believe .. or at least, do so wish they did .................. your plea has the feel of searching about it sir and is of exceptional clarity .............. Neville :)

Hello Tony, 
this is quite the write my friend. A deep soul searching, of making piece with oneself. Reflecting honestly on the life led, facing the reality of who you truly are and giving thanks to all that has been learnt in those moments. A truly captivating read for me, and a glimpse into your beautiful soul. For it takes someone of pure of heart to write something so deeply humble
