Heart and Grit

Shut Down, Clear Out

Digging Deep

27 May

Thick underbrush
chokes your breathing,
stifles your seeing

Crosshatched
     closed-up
          shut down

But on this day,
tomorrow weighs less
than yesterday.

You slough off
the duff for just
one lungful of grace.

Shed layers of identities
like dead leaves,
pick a fresh bouquet
of potentialities.

Leftovers shaken loose,
composting
into organic holiness.

A new world springs to life.

Not discovered, but remembered
in the emptiness of your living presence.
