they lie on the page

like snakes

coiled and ready to strike

words that hint

nay

declare my greatest fears

that I am indeed deficit

at least in the eyes of one

in the eyes of some whose opinion counts

they lay in my head

words that remind me of things I don’t admire

about my self

events creep into memory

of which I am ashamed

there too
are remembrances of wrongs done,
not by me, but to me

there too

sneaking out of my subconscious

into the daylight of my thoughts

are a plethora

of fears and hopes

joys and sorrows

there too is

expectation and despair

ah!

can I be saved from all of this?

salvation is indeed undoing

it is an emptying

a letting go

of all that holds and binds

good or bad

it is forgiving myself and others

and placing the burden of pain for what has been

and the burden of fear for what will be

down

and walking away

free

free to learn of the Sacred

to learn of the Sacred anew

to learn of myself

to learn of myself anew

salvation is

undoing
