Just as it began
To materialize
For the first time in
His life
Wrapping his head
His heart around it
Embracing with wild
Abandon
Shifting perception
To a clearer view
Uninhibited
Filled with wonder
Unveiling calm
In the storm of
His life
To his true self
Introductions made
Freedom offered
At too high a cost
He weighed the options
Too much to be lost
He fabricated a story
That fit the bill
Sold his soul
For that house on
The hill
Building his arsenal
Of material possessions
At the end of day
Believing he’s
Made it
