Dross

As the sun filters through branches
Brown crackled blooms exposed
No longer hidden by bright blossoms
Which spring had just transposed

The sunlight's angle is now changed
Revealing hidden parts
Only the dross is bad_ grotesque
Secrets deep in one's heart

Sara, Thank-you for the message. That is a way of dealing with the heavy weighted material. It is interesting, however, that certain things come back like boomerangs at the strangest times. The mind has all these things filed and organized, and it only takes a trigger of some kind to cause the "file" to be accessed. It is always another chance to look at an old item.

Yes, the things left over from the past. That stuff can really weigh us down. Have you discovered how to get rid of it? The poem makes me wonder about so much.
