i let go of god

i let go of god



i see through dark orbs clearly 
now.
the wondrous scores
of
human invention.
after 
decades of a detention,
a
self-imposed convention, 
of 
little boxes
to keep my arms inside of.

so
yeah,
i took off the gloves.
to discover
the power of love
can be
boundless.
or
one hell of a convoluted mess
if
you digress
like i did
into an abyss of 
conjecture.

i changed
when
i let go of god.
and found
there is a world beyond
fables
and lightning rods.
