Become or Undone

Become or Undone

A small taste was all I needed

To fuel the flames

From the time before time

When I was young and unsure

Releasing me to find the path

My test to become or undone

Then men arrived and my world changed

I walked through towns

Undetected by everything but one cat

Who hissed when I went by

Wanting everything even without need

Like the humans, they claimed everything 

Watching tasting learning the ways of men

Took the risk and donned a body

So we could blend in without question

Their rituals were intriguing 

When the fire burned out the body

It was buried deep and left to sleep

For some reason most could never see

The portion of life they called soul

Yet finally those they called dead

Saw and spoke to me

Following me from place to place

Trying to garner truth of what happened

Why families chose not to see

So I took them to my heart

Taught them truths they had failed to see

To love and give freely to those who hurt

Offering up a part of each of us

So those on the other side 

Knew they were not alone

It is the living we wait upon

To join us here, the place of no fear

Some name it heaven, some paradise

For me it is just home 

I have been away far too long
