patches of dense fog

patches of dense fog
I sat in a patch of shade under a belief
I was enjoying a purple patch and spent thousand moments in fidelity
fidelity to my principles
the fidelity of the faith to keep calm us in heart’s realm—
the perpetual moments of faith
I lived for years in a perpetual state of faith and compassion
my religious belief was always hedged with doubt though
a way of hedging against balance risks
hedging against protect myself against problems
especially against losing faith
I felt there was no fear though
time peaks covered with perpetual faith
and bliss

sometimes I found life made me feel hedged in and restless on some point
Time offer wasn’t hedged around with all sorts of conditions
I wanted to reduce the risk of losing & making a mistake by supporting more than one side in a competition, an argument
I hedged my bets by applying for various other direction and path
but all I found that I fenced by usual routine of life
restrict freedom
surround with a fence
divide one belief from another with a fence
divide one heart from another
fenced with barbed wire
different belief
different faith
the different colour of skin
How can humanity work with these perpetual interruptions?
One end of the heart had been fenced off for the hope
I was sitting in the fence
and thought that I would prayer
I would kiss the sky
and prayer for hearts are fenced with barbed wire.—
a little prayer to unfenced eyes from partial blindness
Kiss the sky and prayer for those fenced by a moment of blind panic
kiss the sky and prayer for skin that couldn’t breathe long in the air of discrimination
what if you allow skin to breathe
what if you open the heart and let air get in
through kiss to the sky to open heaven’s door without any discrimination on the grounds of race
kiss the sky and plead for mercy
so sky will mercy on us
we go to put us at the mercy of the bank?

through the kiss and plead for the open doors for all
look at the sky with pleading eyes
so God mercy on us
without any discrimination of race, colour of skin and religion
plead for mercy
so we could get out from fear
through the kiss to the sky
so human could unfenced from barbed wire—
through the kiss..
so humanity can breathe without fear
without boundaries
without discrimination
without barriers
do we effort to learn discrimination between right and wrong?
positive discrimination
the ability to judge what is good, and true?
we can learn?
can we?
through the kiss ..
close your eyes
make a wish
the hearts are open
the heaven’s door is open
Go through this gate, and you’ll see the house on your left—
through the kiss..

    Well written, so many thoughts, I like “so humanity can breathe without fear” This made me think how I feel like I don’t have a choice of who to vote for for president this time. To me it isn’t even a choice of the worst one. We have so many fears in our world how can we breathe easy.
