I LIVE FOR WORDS
These four words
I give them forward
As the foreword
To the story of my life 

That first I write as fiction 
I birth it as a vision
Script a purpose and a mission 
Then I work it with ambition 

Looking back on my past
I learn from what I’ve written 
every chapter that’s passed 
Has a kernel of my wisdom 
And while I can’t go back
And reverse it through revisions
I can always look 
Forward 
And determine my conditions

Every word is a decision 
Every step forward to my vision 
Is Serving as a literal
Conversion of the fiction 
From uncertain premonition 
To a world in which I’m living 

I wrote this book
Forward
For you to read and look 
back 
On this journal I’ve inscripted
As a permanent description 
Of the person I’ve depicted 
In this impermanent existence  

To read again and look 
Forward

Into the world YOU can envision 
From immersion in the wisdom
That the world in which you’re living
IS the world that you’ve envisioned

It emerged as a condition 
Of your personal commitments 
Of your words and your decisions
Of the curses you’ve been gifted 
That you’ve turned from your limits 
To the service you deliver 

And the part of your world that is a prison 
With The worst of your decisions 
And the hurt that you’ve inflicted 
On the person that you’ve hidden 
From the world so you can fit in

Emerged as a condition 
Of the words you haven’t written 
And the purpose that’s been missing 
When you’ve been a persecuted victim
Of the curse of your resistance 

You’re the the victim and the persecutor, listen

This sermon is permission
To Let that person be forgiven 

You are Worthy of the Wisdom 
That emerges when you listen 
To the urge of intuition 
Through your purpose you’ll be given 
The Purity of vision 
And a certainty of mission 
To determine the world in which you’re living

Remember, this world is what you’ve written
And while you can’t return to the beginning
At any age, you can change the page
And write a different version with a personal revision 

There are no permanent conditions 
Life emerges as you live it
Life returns what you will give it 
Life’s impermanent unlimited
But has a terminal transition
For the person that you’re living as

But here’s the surface contradiction 
Your rebirth is every minute 
While you’re maturing there’s a kid in you
That’s learning to relive it 

I encourage you, this minute with these lyrics 
To journal on your vision 
With a purpose and a mission
A clear personal depiction 
Of the person you envision 
And make sure you have it written 
With courage and conviction 
Cause a dream will 
Never birth into existence 
If you don’t first believe the fiction 
THE WORD IS THE BEGINNING
