Doomed To Be Free

Poem written 6-7-24. Sequel to “Time Is A Monster”.

1.
We are free,
So it is said;
Doomed to be free

Hurled into time,
And forced to choose;
What else can you do?

Before us,
Lay more roads,
Than we can ever see

But looking back,
It always seems,
So inevitable

2.
Time seems a monster,
Until you consider,
The alternative

To eternally be,
Exactly and only,
What we always were

To be trapped,
In the only ever,
That ever ever was

What a monster,
Seems Time;
Until He’s gone

3.
It is only then,
That we realize,
We are the monsters

Poisoned and twisted,
And trapped,
In our sins

We have no chance,
To change the story,
Or to grow anew

We are left cold,
For love, too,
Is a transformation

4.
So revel then,
In every change,
That lets us be better

Revel then,
In every moment,
That lets us learn to love

Revel then,
In the yesterdays,
Tinged ever with regret

For we are,
Well and truly,
Doomed to be free
