Fill In Life's Depths

Forget now the darkness wallowing your mind

Forget now the shadows cast forth to blind

Forget now oppressions boiling to steep

The limbs of a willow that wish you to weep


Forget now your lies yoked ‘bout your neck

Forget now the chain you linked with regrets

Dressed in rejections adorned by resent

Dance with the anger you gave your consent


Forget the crazed madness that you well plan

Forget all the innocence struck down by your hand

Forget all that rotted and putrid strong words

You chose to spew others so proudly absurd


Bask in your mirror warm your cold smile

That grins when released among the quiet mild

Shelter your ego keep it near breast

Where ill harbored deeds never beset


Toss the harsh malady you brewed as a tea

Replace it with visions that lure you to free

All the calamity raised by your scowl

Amid all the wildness pulled from moon’s howl


Take now your own hands shape them anew

Dip them in softness of life’s silver pools

Inhale the silence of petal soft breaths

Forget now the shallows fill in life’s depths.
