The rot has sunk in deep ~ tragic is our stupor, trauma bonding with pain, enslaved by dark desires, cleansing not, our soul’s stain. The rot has sunk in deep ~ we know not who we are, yet seek not truth of life, adrift thus rudderless, engaged in needless strife. The rot has sunk in deep ~ we’re in inner conflict, head and heart misaligned, deaf to voice of conscience, soul’s to darkness consigned. The rot has sunk in deep ~ scarred is heart’s innocence, love suffused as a child, now soiled by our ego, plunged into tempests wild. 19-May-2022

I enjoyed the continuity of this and "we’re in inner conflict, head and heart misaligned, deaf to voice of conscience, soul’s to darkness consigned."

Isn’t it so … once head melds with heart, in resonance with love, we stand erect and feel centred
