The Promise I Keep
Sep 24, 2024
The promise I keep, the promising with which I sleep,
In tender moments into deep, out of the shadows make my leap.
To those that have come before, I make a promise to be more,
In quickened rise I leave the floor, to reach the very highest door.
And in this door I find, that there are many of this kind,
From ground below where I was blind, all of these gates are intertwined.
No matter which I choose to enter, that's when it becomes my center,
Now I might need a mentor, so that I might become a great ascender.
With great acceptance I will try, to activate my valued why,
The world greeting me it does comply, and I remove upon me the tongue tie.
It's time that I speak freely now, without filter not as highbrow,
In loud tonality avow, greatness from my ancestors I endow.
A path they left for me to follow, one that is shaped but it is hollow,
My useless pride now I swallow, avoiding aspects of Apollo.
I promise to my kingdom come, I let my greatness now become,
Removing my elusive thickened grum, so I may reach a zero-sum.
In solitude I pay respect, this from me you can surely spect,
My promise given dearly I protect, and let anyone who doubts inspect.
Through feat and tribulation vast, I honour pledge to unsurpassed,
My word, a union from now to past, ensures my memory will last.
With each step up the winding stair, I sense the weight of what I bear,
The promises, divine prayer, properly guiding me with utmost care.
In shadows and the sun I climb, my vows the rhythm and the rhyme,
Pushing me towards through space and time, ahead a vision more of mine.
The vow I keep is not a chain, but span of wing that lifts through pain,
An echoed compass true through all the rain, leading myself to divine domain.
Thus, let me word eternal stand, a beacon light over the land,
The promise kept, by mind and hand, achieved the future that I planned.
