"A flower blossoms
Within lies the sweet nectar.
Keep or share: you choose!"
Is it really enlightenment I seek?
or simply a way to stop the bleeding
I hang myself
from my own olive branch
the one I extend in hope
I can’t let go
dare I plummet
into the fire of truth below
for truth does not burn -
it peels
layer by layer
the soul from sleep
cutting away
cancerous conditions
making way
for clearer visions
my purpose is cloudy
I wish light
would enter my heart
and enter loudly This was a collaborative post!
