Shed

As tears release,
I am bathed in light.
As the wall that no longer serve me,
Breaks down,
I am bathed in light, once again.
As water droplets,
Wash over my cheeks,
I am bathed,
In reflective, shedded light.
As I allow this rainy day
Within me, to rinse through,
I know, each droplet,
Is a seed, sprouting,
Adding to my life
As the pain leaves my body,
No longer stored,
I am bathed in light…
As each memory frees,
There is a deepening emanation
Spilling forth as well as refueling
My insides, replenishing me, from
The wells within...
I am bathed in light…
Through the balancing,
Sorting, flow of emotions,
Experiences, lessons learned,
Tears wash over me,
Through me,
Out of me,
Evaporating into the atmosphere,
Reclaiming my natural,
Ecosystem within,
Like compose eventually
Becomes soil,
I am revitalized,
Nourished, refined,
Bathing in the light I am,
Surely equipped,
And more than ever, ready
To grow more,
As with lotus,
Water, and mud,
I stem,
I branch out,
From every experience,
From every form through me,
Out of me, through the elements,
Through outside back in,
I am bathed in light…
