CHOICE

CHOICE

Shake off that dust and follow me.
We shall take this road
even less travelled than any
you have read about.

Just through this door
you call a gate
secret garden? you ask,
but in truth this is way more
in the nature of a secret world

so many covet, yearn to own,
failing which destroy,

for who should enjpy
such a world if
the freedom is not proferred
to subjugate it, colonize it?

so take in as much
as you can whilst we are here
commit to your heart
this set
of directions

and I shall leave you here
so fitting, indeed politic,
that I should disappear

honestly, I do feel
that this is
all I should say
am
permitted to say

indeed it may be said
to have
may be charged with
having spoken
out of turn, broken
the code,
said too much already.

But the thought that you might
guide
your soul’s
choice

here,
when you assuredly return.
