Inch by inch I begin,
to peel back the layers.
Layers embedded so deeply
they wear me down
covering me in a blanket of blue.
Somewhere beneath those layers,
is a dormant fire which once was me.
Light, full, untouched, full of raw energy
spring blossoms, summers replenishing rains
falls beautiful gown, winters feather snow flakes.
Like a mason with his bricks
carefully filling each space.
Building something beautiful
brick by brick until……
a mansion is vast standing tall.
In reverse, I peel off the pain.
Peel off the blue,
Peel off the confusion
Peel off the mess that divides true self from the outside world.
Beneath the surfaces
of time and a million thin layers
that now feel so heavy
I can hardly stand upright to carry them……..
There is that lost someone
the truth without the layers
the inner shell that wasn’t empty
the spark that shined brighter than the heavens.
I shall peel
reaping a reward
of someday soon
finding that fire that is me.
