Inalienable Annihilation

Aristotle’s theory 
      of potentiality and actuality 
  is one that could hunt 
      the most bravest of souls
  I was never meant to play the role
  of either judge, jury, executioner
        or even bounty hunter
  I am meant for a station of balance 
      to understand that occurrences 
     in life exist to see the ugly 
  bile riddled verity 
      of each individual 
   in their core also houses 
       a lined beauty 

     Birthed in crimson 
            marinated in hope 

 Breath of Earth 
    a tidal wave at the ready 
 a force of nature 
       to asphyxiate 
    the fire that rages 
 in the fashion of a temperamental
      child — 

 A witness 
    to walk a path 
  potentially fright may perhaps 
     gain control — there is no 
         magic hat or restraint 
         even Houdini 
   could not escape

   Necessity to settle 
shake my body to allow 
    the sediments 
  of thought corpses to die
      lilies begin to sprout 
   inside of an indecisive Earth 
      as the matter is transmuted 
   into a unique form 
       
     A chimera that wishes to achieve 
  fearlessness and the actuality 
      of optic to optic with a lion 
          and understand 
    reflection and remembrance
   allows that lily to grow 
 only with the presence 
     of one lightning rod 
   at the ready to make 
      impact with my soul
