Full Potential

We can experience our whole range, as long as the motive is not dirty, and we are willing to pay the price

Animus, Animus,

Where are you?

I feel you somewhere inside.

I know you are true.

You have a lot of things to teach.

Your skills can make me now defeat

what’s manifested here on earth

as an incomplete human self.

Externally I used to show

more skills of my Anima-voice.

It was until I “saw” the fact

that I am really wider than that.

Wherever birth is manifested,

two principals combine their essence;

a feminine one and a masculine

are always in presence.

Gender isn’t exactly the point here.

It’s about the substance of the elements

alchemized into gold

that finally appears.

I don’t fight my Anima’s characteristics.

I just work on enlightening more

my contact with

yours.

I won’t deny any of you two.

If I split you, I’m not whole,

because none of you can create life alone.

You are one, after all.

I’ll just “grow” more,

I’ll work within the dark,

to illuminate and use your potential, too,

to become my own ark.

I’ll be careful, I'm aware

of the motive that is in there.

I don’t do it to rule the world,

to dominate my friend or my foe.

I will do it to contribute

to the uncovering of the eternal truth,

to be elevated with all the “others".

The trap of division always bothers.

Responsibility, work with toil,

consciousness, and self-awareness,

are not the easy choice.

But I am guided by my Self’s voice.

Freedom is here,

but, to be unveiled

I have to pass

through the hurricane.

A man, a woman can really be

the soul’s potential, their real “me”.

But only when ready to prove

they’ll also take the cost along with the profit of this route.
