Tower (a repost)

I pause and reflect

upon the mosaic of my existence

recollecting scattered thoughts

as the ill mood of irritability

blows away like a dandelion

in the ferocity of a powerful wind

I allow realization to surface

and readjust my frame of mind to

accept that the fire within is deep

it is wild - it is fierce

it may dwindle but

only for so long as it takes

to revel, recharge, and reassess

for it fuels long lost dreams

and ignites passion owned by

my courage and desire to

confront the unknown

as the myriad of feelings

both unwanted and undesirable

work cohesively to draw the shades upon

my world as I know it and jade

my view of hope and serenity

though they stand powerless

against the omnipotent tower within
