The Book Of Life

1st ENTRY

Stencil By; Keith McHugh

Living in an open book,

I am everywhere I look,

I thought I took a wrong turn,

Feeling the fire burn,

I yearn for peace.

Releasing my hold,

Dropping the load,

Eroding into the landscape,

There's no need to escape,

The lesson is taking shape,

I am the paper,

The vapor in the air,

I wrote every word there,

My story to share,

For those out there,

Looking for a reason to care,

Life may not seem fair,

Careful of overreacting,

You may be redacting some content,

Seeking consent,

For how your day went,

Letting another use the pen,

Until you say when,

Rising up again,

Writing your way in,

The firing pin,

Locked in position,

Awaiting the decision,

Primed for the mission,

Exploding with precision,

I am spiritually driven,

I've written this story over and over,

Never crossing over,

The older I get,

The more I see it,

I am perfecting my gift,

A rift within the present,

Choosing different,

Changing each instant,

The end is in the distance,

I see another chance,

Will I return for another dance,

Or play in the expanse,

I love this experience.

Hope y'all are enjoying the chapter your writing.
