Remove the blindfold and breathe free.

Poem:

Blinded by perfection


perfect, imperfect, raw, bland, beautiful  
we are blinded by perfection


in search of a connection  
with our individual destination  
waiting for the perfect reception  
in a world full of deception  
a knock inside, an opening outside of perception  
breaking norms awaiting salvation


rejoicing in the smallest confessions  
ripping apart the cliched definitions  
wanting to be free from conventions  
feeling once and for all the peak intention  
wanting to be accepted and find affection  
to be or not to be in the circle of resurrection


the dark ways and light that is incarnation  
a raw and naked imagination  
experiencing freedom in a box of determination  
a rebellious and notorious desperation  
clipped wings finally finding redemption


breathe // breathe again // and once more


we still love perfection  
but it's a myth called separation  
finally ascend into the magic of extension  
of discernment // elevation // allocation


energy, the real information  
truth, a formal illusion


walk into the doors of incantation
