Embellish the bleak landscape of your perception
'Til it grows wild and strangles you
This garden of dreams is not the Eden you seem to see
Suffocate the noxious seed
With last season's dead leaves
I know it pains you, but the past serves
To nourish
Through this excruciating pain, you may flourish
If you'd only cease nurturing the virulent flora
To restore your garden faster
Problems remain insoluble with the same thinking they were borne of
Your authentic self must have its growth
Stunted at times, to solidify foundations
And this pain will mark just another season
For your deciduous soul
Deep roots feel not withering sun nor frost
No chill wind, nor calm warm day
But reach for richer earth
Find peace in decay, and
Tend lovingly to the soil...
Grow.
