The Greatest Treason of The Soul

An invitation.

All those years I’ve squandered, wondering why I can’t write like him or look like her
Ignoring one invitation after another
From the heavens
From myself
To explore the glittering crystal caverns beneath
The vast expanse of wilderness that lives within my spirit
The endless pleading for a freedom that can only come when I understand that I am the universe, as much as anyone else is

I am made of the stars, and it is the greatest treason of the soul to deny that
