Unfiltered from the heart

to fly high spiritually
is to dig deep emotionally
to walk this path is to burn
an incineration of the mask
of who we once believed we were

to fly & soar all spiritual
to be “the shit” above it all is to
reveal the emotional
muck & shitshow* below
& is merely part of
the balancing
the reckoning
the nature of many a’thing

so the spiral spiraling spirals ’round & ’round
again & tf again, ad nauseum (cue the e-motion sickness)
to reveal that embedded between the folds
between the peace & parcels of heavenly grace
there is a burning fire that i’d much rather
suppress, squash
deny, unsee
ignore, disregard
put under a wet blanket
& close the effing fire door

to do so is to deny the passions & energy
to ignore the need for healthy boundaries
& to suppress the energy to enforce the latter

in opening the door
& in taking off the fire blanket
while removing as many blinders
as i can, allowing the fire to be
as it is, i can now see it all differently

the anger is here
to fuel my passions – where I am meant to be passionately passionate
the anger is here
to burn through the masks i wear
the anger is here
to protect me from violators of boundaries
necessary to keep away the trampling down by others, especially those who trample about with lack of awareness

the fire is here
& it is part of me
where it merely wants to be
seen (witnessed) & permitted to be free – by me
as another jewel in my crown
to see the need for healthy boundaries
the fire is here
it is here perhaps most importantly to support the next unfolding
& blossoming

*it all is unfolding just as it is meant to be, really
