Purging

Poetic Healing

Woman hand holding sparkler outdoors

What are you purging,
What need not be part of you anymore
That it so forcefully releases
Like fireworks in the night sky
Within the heart of your own being?

What pain can you let go,
What ancient past emerging
Asks not to be still buried
But rather to be free,

Out of the cave of your belly
And into the light to be atoned
And disseminated
Its particles scattering to the Universe
Becoming the fodder for your growth
Instead of caged rebellion,
Becoming the light
Which feeds your soul

      Well, I thought I replied to this on Monday! But apparently it didn’t post. I see caged rebellion as that feeling inside of us that wants to be free, to be itself in a world that insists we conform, and instead of allowing it to be, we keep it inside, we cage it.

    I see it as the desire to let go of the past, particularly the parts that keep us bound, rather than keeping it caged inside because it seems safer (e.g., the devil you know).
