Dust to Dust

Emotions. Feeling used up after a relationship has drained the life and light out of your body...

Touch this skin of leather
Taste this tongue, so weathered
The dry and weary places
Haven't left to utter
Once lush traces
Only secrets mutter

[Phill Oz O'fee]

The best example of this in the natural world is when a snake sheds its skin. During the shedding process, the snake is visibly uncomfortable and unproductive. It doesn’t eat; it is irritated and sluggish, devoting all of its energy to this one task of ridding the old to make room for the new.

Why is the snake shedding? To grow into a larger, more capable and more evolved body and existence. While snakes do this physically, we as human beings metaphorically shed our own skin when it is time to grow personally, professionally, or spiritually. Your write highlights the darkest before the dawn - but when the positive inner self kicks in - your next write will reflect resurrection (I'm sure of this) - :-)
