~Cathartic

Bare your soul,

spill your blood on white pages

relinquish tears from thine eyes

purge your sins, unburden your heart

If thy pen finds nirvana

to write the light of day,

the darkness of night 

reads a lighter shade of gray

I absolutely LOVE the last stanza! Not that the first is chopped liver; it is beautiful in its own way. But since I am a practicing Buddhist, the last stanza rings clear to me and true. Wonderful job of evoking emotions from the reader with this piece.

I didn't know you were a Buddhist Lori, no wonder you're so serene, and thanks so much.

I've been practicing Buddhism for about 10 years now.. with some Hinduism, Taoism and Native American Shamanism tossed in to keep me focused.
