PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

the ugliness of ego
can all too easily
soak through
even the most beautiful
of flesh
vice and greed
both sharp bookends
flanking ones negative
favor
under the miserable guise of
me, me, me
lurks the storms of forcible
demand
punctuating the virulent nature
of necessity
to alter such course
for the safe keeping of
ones humanity
when lightness meets
such obvious grave darkness
turmoil combusts to pollute
such encounter
a repulsive wave is then
put forth and released
yet of the two
only lightness can escape
the unhealthy atmosphere
relatively unscathed
it is a process to self suspension
and only the purity of the light within
can guide one to the proper paths of
the authentic self
to get a better understanding
prayer is a fresh bath and blanket
for the soul
a way to cleanse the suit of flesh
and ego away
it's through dense invited mist
that the heavy darkness comes
to linger
so rise up
out of the muck
of the self
by allowing yourself not the easy slip
of falling back into your own ego's
habits so easily wounded
but rather choose to exit any such
encounters henceforth
through access to your inner lightness
while allowing your sincerest prayers
to be the cleansing shower
such individuals you encounter cannot
(or will not) yet access for themselves
for that is mercy dispersed
at its highest possible concentration..........
