breaking away
personal gods are childlike
always prevailing over the lessers
karmic-minded & interconnected
with everything outside
the human mind
such gods project incredible
optical hallucinations
hinting at nature’s mysteries
some seen as newly freed birds
escaping inner stability
invention based on observation
the emotional self
seeks its inner child
not out of fear or curiosity
rather out of necessity
