Denial

He picked up all the scavengers
along the way to his destination.
What a hearty bunch now all buzzing
about the gathering to come.
They was going to celebrate his Denial,
so why not bring along the many whom
denied their lives too!
This was a big event and
everyone would be there.
All the has beens and ever would be’s
had front row seats.
Keynote speakers were the should haves but could nots,
how inspirational with this common theme yes?
They all clamored on how wonderful it was to get
together to confirm with each other on limitations of
life.
Fine feathered they all would be he mused
as he approached a curve in the road,
a road
he had never taken before
(But took because he heard it was a short cut).
He was in for a surprise.
His heart began beating like crazy and
opening up like a beast from the center of
the earth
He was consumed by his Desire!
A loch nest monster had come to life!
He stopped short of dropping dead right
then and there.
He spun out the road and skidded close beside
where the choices of tomorrow’s dreams reside.
All his fears and subtle story lines that
he had maintained, fed for years and kept
in iron clad cages of his dramatic denials
came spilling out!
He could not believe his eyes!
They were running fast away from him
“how could this be?” He cried.
I fed them and petted them and nurtured
each and every one of these ungrateful beasts
and here they flee the first chance they get!!

Ohh the feeling of loss purged out from
inside all that he was becoming, a deep
grating noise screamed at the core of every nerve
and sensory perception he had developed.
A wave of darkness and fear consumed
him so consciously that for the moment he wondered
Who Am I?
then…
Who would celebrate
All that he had carefully crafted himself to be
over the years?
all his
wisdom?
sacrifice?
and lies?

Now as he stumbled close to the edge of all that
he was becoming through his desire, he
felt relief and and then took a breath so deep and pure
he knew that somehow from here on out things
in his life would be much different.
He got up and began to walk toward the
direction of his life that had once been shrouded
by so many of his fears. (his dreams)

He looked around and the sun
Was shining on his face
He smelled a smell he remembered
As a child
Walking in the woods
Feeling free.
