Unfiltered from the heart

it is easy to get caught
in the currents & torrents
of suffering & pain

swept away by the waters
of emotional upheaval;
a deep well is tapped

like rivers of lava
it disintegrates anything
in its path

in these moments
beauty can be unseen
the path of destruction
the only thing gleaned

sinking into the core
feeling into the moment
& each breath’s movement

opening into &
allowing the burgeoning despair
within the building of the fear

like a wave it will crest
& reach a climax
with a near immediate dissolution

within the denouement
there is no dust to settle
the inner landscape transmuted

the seed having been cracked open
the gift within the chaos
a newfound breath of freedom

a new form is borne
spilling its beauty throughout
with each iteration a new ability

seeing the beauty of it all
destruction an act of creation
in allowing the wound its space
it is, & we are, thusly transformed
