cracking
it had been a miserable place in his heart
disconnected the body mind and soul
wandered in a straightjacket of bedlam
insanity depression and misgivings
firmly rooted in a lonely Self
abandoned by madness and despair
a crack is where the light gets in
once the solar eclipse fissures
its own crevice down to the core
separated and broken he prayed
for a shift in awareness
an awakening of renewed consciousness
for lunacy to remove the dark side of the moon
a rainbow all by itself would not
open his chakras waiting for
transcendental rejuvenation
the here and there seemed to be a wayward journey
from the sombre past to an enlightened future
while impermanence seemed despondent
full of sorrow sadness and undeterred pain
shallow regret would not suffice
but meditation eased the path
once step at a time just for today
through reflection which condensed his resolve
forgiveness and honesty crept in
an inward shell split open disassociation
composed realities and wishes
desires acceptance and the courage to transpose
he did not allow himself to fail to recall
precedent misdemeanours
dared not to forget nor revel in glory
instead he fathomed that purpose
meaning and growth required
constant attention and that change can be done
a true crackdown emerged
at the luminous dawn of novel beginnings
