rejoin, not to repel or repeal but to fuse

[exoiced]

I have walked for years, alone, maybe around the globe,

That I might cast illumination on the separation that I am, that I might eliminate the suffering that I am not,

Only to realize that this is wasted, a useless notion; walking away from the deliverance, turning my back on this redemption, when in the surrender the power awakens.

(The sleeping dragon)

I cannot rest until I am free. Then I never shall rest. What a folly!

Accept the consequences of acceptance and rest.

i like the idea and the execution. my only gripe would be the repetitious use of "accept" on the last line.

...hmmm... is there another image you can think of to replace the somewhat cliche'd "sleeping dragon"? Not a big deal, just a thought.

for some reason this reminded me of the serenity prair.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

I really enjoy the meter in which this was written. And i am glad to hear a positive note in this poem it seems very affirming. Thank you for sharing.

certainly reads like an omen. kudos i say.

:D

I wrote this after a moment, it was actually a kind of revelation. I was so aware of how every single thing happening in my life at the time (5 months ago) was intended and meant to be, even though I was suffering and restless and needing answers to the existential issues that have plagued me all my life, and I just needed to accept them because i was beginning to collapse from sheer exhaustion.
The months following were hell as I developed serious anxiety and depression (the consequences of acceptance), kicked all drugs and alcohol, even sigarettes.
I am now on the road to recovery and a whole new start (rest).

Yes the sleeping dragon is a bit cliche but it does represent self-respect which once awakened can change everything, I am wondering what would fit better, open to suggestions btw.

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference.

This is def. in the same vibration. Thankyou.
