EXPIRED
*
What has expired
dreams to be returned
to where renewal takes it to be reborn
End of life takes rest in the eternal fecundity
of creations rich soil made of earth and sky
water and breath
bird and worm
rock and shell
mind and heart
ashes to ashes
love into darkness and lightness
*
What has expired
decays in the keeping
shadows the belly of truth
Keeps the heart on hold
Clouds the mindscapes
Whispers, please surrender me
Give me back to the elements
*
What has expired
asks to be let go of
emptied by its uselessness
void of what gave it purpose
tired of clinging to nothing
laid on the altar to be received
waiting to be chosen
waiting to be released
waiting to return to nothingness
to gather again in the everything
