Jettisoning Fear

blast from the past
leaves us appalled & aghast
crude wake up call
delusion blown in the squall

savage dream images
ferality that conscience ravages
remnants of our past
resurfacing for an unholy repast

negativity seeking release
being a bubble of ego imaginary 
we allow it to quietly burst
for love alone quenches our thirst 

in prayerful surrender
