Guilt of fate

Where do I begin to explore this epic ?
Was it so long ago that it is for me merely a relic ?
Maybe a long time I would have accepted this as ironic

This morning is so different that I am drawn to what once was the fire
The years have no longer made me sensitive enough to anybody’s ire
Could I have entered a time in my life to reflect upon this connection as dire?

The sails of my aspirations are now taking in all your winds pushing me forward
The waters are dangerous around this time of year for the uninitiated, and a reason to stay home for the wise

I have taken wisdom as reason to sail again into the unknown, leaving my inhibitions for the shores of certainty

If only I could capture the eyes that looked right through me, and the arms that held me, for only in that moment in time have I recognized my humanity

I have become the lover within the beloved shedding my armor that was merely my blanket from the cold.  

Within a glance, my life’s achievements, failures and pride were captured deep, deep within your eyes

My path is illuminated with the energy of your spirit, for if I am to continue, I am to give up my guilt of fate and embrace you as a fate of bliss.

We may all get second chances in life, and if this is mine then truly the God has even more love for us than we can possibly conceive
