A Poem – Transparency

I want to settle inside

Next to the lungs of life,

Breathe deep with every pulse

Of its heart, steady

 

I want my layers shed,

The worn and crusted to be

Scraped,

Letting me breathe, easy

 

I want the false life

Sucked out,

Leaving my shell, chipped and coarse

But intact, strong, rigid – clear

 

Pushing, pulsing up

Is pure sweet and warm,

Life’s essence filling me whole,

Reclamation and Regeneration

 

I am transparent again
