bitterness                       release

hatred                                                 release

These hideous demons awake with me everyday

These dark monsters hold me in my cage of fear

"These arms are snakes"

"These are a few of my favorite things"

The ax has fallen

Blood has been spilt

Crush and rid this curse from me

I will not let your hypocrisy hold me

I will not let my hypocrisy paralyze me

Embrace my past and purge from me your lies

Freedom is within my grasp

I will no longer be decieved

firm, tender hands grasping
dry earth descending
aloft, I am reborn
these weak failing roots
transplanted, I am awakened

a labor of love
dense foilage emerges
desolation forgotten
this broken being
receiving, growing, transmitting

come behold what was
cold and hollow tendrils
dead ways soon forgotten
these leaves open
embracing the wonder of what is

feel the warmth of life
swirling into and out of you
behold, harmony and peace
ebbing from within
nourished and now nourishing

roots of compassion
taking to firm soil
basking in the luminescent love
of 10,000 rays of sunshine
releasing all fear and hatred
