The Sorting
 
Creativity drowns
In stagnant waters
A shark must keep moving 
Or it dies
I must keep moving 
Or I die
No compromise in sight
Imprisoned by ego
Chained to anger
Third eye closed
Horus snores 
Irritatingly in the corner
Crucified by my prejudices
Blind to solutions
Sophia’s back turned
Diplomacy snubbed
Perception blindfolded 
From Truth
Intuition mistrusted
Despair seeps into consciousness
Unwashed and naked
I cower ignorant of protocol
The sorting must begin
The garden must be plowed
Time to discard ideals 
Rotted on the vine
Agitations must be pruned
Habits reformed
I bow to the cosmic Will
Her will becomes mine
I clear out the debris
Sorting that which endures
From that which suffocates
Rebirth requires amnesia
Entering heaven requires letting go
The eye of the needle is narrow
Sweep up the remnants of what was
Fertilizing what remains
Spring lies on the horizon
Patience is my salvation
