Noises of distraction
Bombards from all directions
Never a moments rest for the consumed
The sirens call
Beckons me into her arms
After all
I succumb to seduction
I recall
The Irresistible compulsions
Big or small
Time slowly slips away
Reprogram the mind in the language that it speaks
Anchors of the past scratched out as old memories
The Sirens call
Distracts me once again
Subtle fall
Chips piece by piece
Once and for all
Conquering the daemons
Standing tall
I reclaim control
The ghosts of the past which haunts our esteem
Sinking legions of time As it drains into obscurity
Forced into action, despite the heavy burden
Frees oneself from the latches of these chains
Tethers long buried
Yet still holding strong
Teaching us the mystery of release
Be the journey and not the goal
Though at times you may lose hope
Give not your power to the fleeting things
Intoxication dulls the senses
Killing the pain with everything else
Constant activity on the trivium of life
Cut out the excess with a surgical knife
Refusing to look in the mirrors reflection
Afraid of what appears before thee
Striving at fulfillment but never reached
A never ending circle of valleys and peaks
The same time given to all of mankind
Make with awareness The choices that decide your life
