I Am Legion

Purpose in being
tells me a story
Life and the living
reach out to learn

A fire in the distance
glows red in the sky
reflecting how fear
is embracing our days

Tonight the garden
of Eden is only
a place to remember
where passion was still

Some vague recollection
found its way into
tomorrow the presence
of innocent love

Without a desire
its separate creation
how could I know
the true meaning of life

Or feel the unreason
in this veil of tears
where shadows grow longer
yet vacant remain. –

I am so many
and willing to be
these cohorts of being
creations of mind

All haunt the mem’ry
of what I’m becoming
This legion of souls
all told they are mine
