Exiles

Tired rhetoric; subjective and demeaning,

so unnecessary yet so persistent, why?

Soul exhausted: metamorphosis dreaming,

of a nature explored, complete:  blue sky 

Surface glance without blemish or caution,

paradigms rigid and curiously defensible.

Deeper waters; stirred by torrid commotion,

toxic dance without end. Incomprehensible.

Scanning horizon exhausted; fruitless,

exploration of the uncharted; a new scope

Affirmation internal: dependence useless,

dive inward, dark recesses offer hope.

Self reliance a pathway to intimate relate,

feelings felt unconstrained without hate.

Exiled parts prove formidable combatants, 

flourishing collaboration with cohabitants.
