Book Excerpt:
Angels lifting me into other dimensions
I am carried into higher heights of ascension
Understanding that my reward is greater than any test
I embark upon my next conquest
I converse with the most high
Unveiled are the truths to many lies
My vision is clearer once I see past the mirror
A reflection of this world, Only an abstract
Souls are eternal, Divinely connected
My energy comes from those resurrected
Through me they live again
Whispers in the wind
It is way deeper than the skin
But can you comprehend
The state that I'm in
Now let us begin from where it all started
A plan given to me
Written in various books
Stolen by various crooks
But somehow I regained
The design of my mind frame
Hell this ain't a game
Gotta maintain
Look a little closer
You'll see a teardrop stain
From the struggle
I seek shelter from the rain
I find it in understanding of my self
Greater than wealth
I have been blessed by seeing
That I am more than an average being
