Maya Poem by Shiraz Bautista

This unconscious mind
my holiest of weapons
the sharpest of blades
piercing through this veiled illusion

Thrust into this spiritual plane
unabated by this draining longing
to satisfy these primal desires

Boundless expansion
beyond these carnal confines
unleashing this visceral spirit
laying dormant within

Entering a heightened state
of divinity
connecting the disparate dots
only to come full circle

Piece by piece
I come alive
bowing before
the jewel of life

Lest I remain
holding on
unwilling to release
who I used to be

Breathe this grief
release the need
shed no tears
embrace this fear
