My Life's Design

A lifetime has been spent to make decisions; form a hope for the fate of my soul.
I have cerebrated; inundated my mind, my soul, with the importance of this role.
I visited many pews; lent my ears to capture the essence of others’ beliefs.
I have studied the doctrines and history of that inherited from my parents.

I appealed to science to explain; and employed mathematics to calculate the fact.
I pondered on the evolution of man and the recycling of souls throughout the term.
I have meditated, focused, centered, loved, segregated and reunited.
I have danced on the choruses of light; sneaked around in the activities of night.

I have sipped from every cup I have been offered; bar a mere few.
I have been high and I have been low; yes, I have been all over the show.
I have been exploitive in love and pinned my heart down for the sake of one.
All these things to experience life; sample from the rich offerings it brings.

I have made up my mind and started structuring my world to align with my choice.
I have abandoned the rationality of my mind; opted to follow my heart, soul.
What I feel has always outweighed the directives of my mind.
I chose inheritance; faith in an Unseen God Whom is real in my heart.

As I live and as I love, my motivation is to strive after the perfections of His grace.
I treat all with kindness, but fail not to stand up for those that can’t.
All along, keeping my ethics in check; making sure my heart remains pure.
Imagine my surprise; should I meet another god on the far side of my expiration.
