Denial

Sun shines from the sky of human desire

like a laser to burn the deep down within

and it shatters reserves of protective measures

to make of denial a pile of ash.

So denial made mobile melds and joins

with the wind of circumstance

and creates a thick and dense overlay

over the rest of a life.

This process is known as converting the whole

into small and manageable portions

to make of the burden no hardship

for one who owns and carries denial.

But always there are the corners, you know,

where denial collects and grows in stature

and the cleaner must clean and clean again

and again and again and again.

And this conversion and clean-up process

no chore to be always despised

because it allows a step into the truth

of deep down human desire.

Break up and spread denial to be

in the freedom of one’s own truth

because compacted denial a forever lie

that burdens and weighs down the soul.
