The Glow Beneath It All
The glow beneath it all
We’ve forgotten
Is still here and comes from within
Scrape away the burdensome layers of meaningless deposits
Filling the voids accumulated over half a lifetime
You once thought so defining
Shaping you
Now an ossified vague form of you
A spirit buried beneath its weight
Excavate the unnecessary
Then you’ll see
It’s you alone who conceals your shining.
