The Underground Garden: Bloom

Each step may not make sense but you sense its protect
Shun
What cannot come along
What does not belong
That smile weighs less its reasons are not neglected
They are accept
Chance
Self-destruct
Shun
Negative thoughts
Stop
Start a new conversation
You belong
Right where you are
Stare morph
Into reality redeem
Self-esteem self-achieved
You believed
Each phase and its thorn bushed maze
Each crave craze faced replaced
Each day
Smile
In the same environment and its
Cleared air
Kiss teardrop stains as you wipe them away
They don’t belong there
A memory erased
It was just a yesterday phase
Lighter
Heart

You
In all of your madness
Would have gladly
Left me madder
In order to deny
All of your madness

You may wash yourself of me
But you’ll never be clean

I hope the way I loved you
Inspires you to love another
With that way of
Consideration

I hope you understood
Thinking of another

I hope the pain we went through
Ends with me and you

I hope the way I loved you
Lead you to a truth

See,

If I’m being difficult
It means you’re not worth it

The real was beautiful
The real masked beautiful
More beautiful than the real
Land of Steal

Gratitude turns into selfishness and that’s where you create your mess

Get dressed for the occasion
God’s life in your hands

This is where you stand
Stained hands

Everything one ever wanted all at your command and it’s a drag

Derserving it after earning it then deserting it
Ungratefully
Claim incompletely

As it is so not it may only be

Selfishly believing in tomorrow as in sorrow today withers away from
Overwatering hidden from light

Soil soft trust strong seaspray fae
Faith

Glutton of need nothing and punisher of yearn
Distant bridge entrance stalled rolling stone wedged in fear

Another tomorrow disappears

God’s life reappears in every tear

Holding purpose clear rudimentary one dear
Selflessly hold near gracious lows into which appear highs merciful and from there

Gracefully flourish

Watered just right just enough light
To appreciate Tonight
And Grow.
