man on a mission

To be a man on a mission is to be nothing. Your history glossed over, a story people like to hear. An inspiration, details redacted. A visit home. A morning phone call. Meanwhile you are a vessel for this energy. The drive. The compass needle that sets the course. The gas petal that says ‘go.’

You are the mission and if the mission is worthy then you must be worthy of it. Best not to question. If the mission needs support, you will be supported. If the mission is seductive then you will seduce. 

When someone is drawn to you they are drawn to the energy the mission emirates. Your face more simple to long for than their own purpose. Within your fold the man and the mission diverge. The man doesn’t notice when the mission has been chosen because it has already issued the man to march on. 

To have a mission is to be solid yet fluid. You are the arrow that points to the goal. The emptiness that waits for the next step. The mirror shows the ones who think they want you that you are only the face the mission wears. That they have a mission waiting to empty them, too.

At night abundance spurts forth from your fingertips, levitates over your head like a chill fills the room, like steam from a shower presses against the window wells, waiting to be unleashed over the city. 

Your torso seems too slender for guts. Yet, like a yogi, you are still amidst movement. Like a fighter you deal in nimble reflexes. Like a king you stay humble, you stay humble, you stay humble.

When you thrust your hips, potential is unleashed. Potential becomes kinetic. Once potential is transferred it is no longer your potential. One can only hold an intention then let go, let go, let go. 

Beneath the mission is the man. The man, studious and fastidious. Desert man. Spiritual man. Simple man. No man. Human.

The man doesn’t force himself in the way of the mission. When the mission rests, the man is discoverable. The man emerging from the jungle hut, off a meditation cushion, from behind the desk. Let the man himself be known for he cultivated, loved, supported many to serve.
