Let me be heard

The span so wide

I spread my arms open to hide from a past – disastrous,

& A future cast by antiquity’s obloquy

Fractured

---

Standing at the core

---

What is trailing and approaching…

fade

Excavation deserted, impending receded to dissolution

Now standing centrum

Whole, Present, and Priceless

I AM

An Island,

I AM CENSORED!

Forbidden?

Forgotten?

Undiscovered?

Unbelievable?

Uncharted?

Top Secret?

Restricted, ridiculous!

LET ME BE HEARD    

Elementary, uncomplicated, straightforward:

A roadmap. Let me be heard!

Some ideas thought-provoking, unusual, unexplored, concealed.

Other’s cringeworthy, dark, zany, hilarious, and hush-hush.

But, all will see what we were meant to be.

No games, no fame—Just a family.

All this secrecy,

Scare tactics, judgement, moves erratic.

To protect, perfect.

Who in the hell can live up to that?

Not me.

I would rather be seen:

Flaws, failures, wrinkles, mistakes—Yes, I blushed.

Relatable, beatable, but

my descendants original.

Let it be.

Then I will be proud of the future I see.

All will know I strived to survive,

I thought too much,

Fought,

Loved,

I loathed much of what I witnessed, before and again.

but in the end,

I loved the essence.

Not all the actions, some.

A Treasure Revealed
