Consciousness Correction

Consciousness Correction – 11-20-23 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Consciousness Correction Envy sneaks in unseen A thief robbing light from my house of gratitude, Sowing simmering anger, extinguishing thankfulness, In blind yellowed views Gratitude held captive, Strangled, Pennies of “I wish” tossed into stone cisterns Where winter thrashes cyclconic - Vortex of a gleeful witness to spring’s demise - Dead-ends swell in jealous broken branches, Wrapped in near sighted stigmatisms, Lenses smeared in covet. Stone citadels rise from my naked spite, Blind to confessions of incense, To curl into deep pools Poisoned by tainted pools of jealousy, Creeping to the heights of entitled grudges. Yet nascent vines, fragrant with focal points, Blooms of correction, Slip between crumbling buttress mortars, Sachets illuminate good will In wreaths of newborn appreciation That knows its need for candles of kindness My thankful eyes, that walked in darkness, see To embrace armloads of miracles come into focus Reappearing from soot blown corners. Scales fall in melting flakes From my bloodshot eyes, New sight nourished in a corrected wash - Sweet nectar of reckoning By a brilliant polestar of clarity magnified Opaque about-face.
