Ghosts of Defiance


A passing wind untangles me
And roots to higher grounds
Of taking into custody
And slipping out of bounds
I fight the tyranny of youth
And struggle to outgrow it
I witness the barrage of truth
And forcefully bestow it
But deep within my soul of souls
I dig for self reliance
And journey down into a hole
To slay ghosts of defiance

  1. the passing wind that unshackles,
    ride it as it rises
    the earth that shudders memory
    reconstruct the bones
