Layers
Built up over years
Bricks and mortar
Emotion made physical
Stuck, large, ballooning
Without escape
Until
A new diet deprives
The shielding power of comfort food
Take away the pacifier
The baby cries
Take away the oral salve for soul pain
The adult cries too
History burps all over present time
Another weather front of letting go what was comes
And goes
Emotional pain is not fatal
Unless it is avoided
The experiencing of it has a finite stabbing quality
Piercing the heart of the distressed
Until the tears are eaten by unseen ancestral ghosts
On the other side they eat our tears
For if we do not cry
They eat us
My life from my 5th decade on
Is a "do-over"
I have hit the reset button
Pouring all my wisdom into this moment
Gambling everything I have to give
On this Spirit-driven mission
My life
At last congruent
Still needs cash to spend
I wish we could do our passions for free
Sugar mama, sugar daddy
Send some my way
So I can continue to do Spirit's bidding
As the physical me melts away
