Crumpled Mayhem

Crumpled mayhem
By Michelle Morris

Take time to heal your mind
Take time to heal your soul
Take time to heal your heart
It takes time to heal and be whole

Maybe start with a small memory
Of sadness or of hurt
Unfold it like a crumpled paper
That is flattened and made inert

Deal with the crumpled mayhem
Of memories one by one
Imagine burning them up 
Sending their ashes to the sun

Let that darkness be transmuted
Let your spirit feel light and free
And over time you will realise
That the memories are history

Take time to free your mind
Take time to free your soul 
Take time to free your heart
Take time to be free and whole
