heal/ed

There is a raking

a scraping

in clearing away

be it darkness

or debris

a clawing at

that which endangers

suffocating

obfuscating

before we can heal

before we can be healed

 

There is a lighting

a righting

that must be done

be it biological

or psychological

a transformation of

that which encroaches

a reclamation

an immolation

before we can heal

before we can be healed

 

There is a turning

a learning

to our evolution

be it revision

or ignition

a demo-day yearning

for returning to wholeness

for renovation

and invocation

before we can heal

before we can be healed
