Defeat Of Defeat Poem by moon batchelder

resolved no more to bow to destiny,
absolved myself of guilt and former sin,
dissolved the wall of granite, from within,
evolved beyond all wilted memories!

at peace within the boundaries of my self,
to feast on bliss that formerly was lost.
nor beast unto my peaceful shores has crossed,
at least for now they journey somewhere else.

decree anounced throughout the realm of 'I':
'be free! each moment cherishing until
debris of fleshly form has ceased as well.
for these are what we measure heaven by! '

so sweet the edict to my soul! - and more,
defeat of all defeat that was before!
