Encased In a Box

Encased in a box
Clawing, Screaming, petrified 
"Focus on what's good..."

Light growing inside
planting seeds in my garden
drowning out evil

Mineralized wood
sparkling gemstone colors
standing tall and strong

In the darkness, calls
delusions, tangled theories
twisted processes 

Presenting half-truths
mangled behind closed curtains
devil's alchemy 

Thoughts as fireflies 
exploration commences
purge the corruption

Garden of gemstones
seeds planted into wood's cracks
luminous facets 

Patrolling in groupings 
revealing machinations
always on guard here

Devoured corpses shown
skeletons of last battle
must keep on going

Drive out the madness
cultivated sufferings
weeds plucked from the roots
