Anger fills my bones, Like stones, Anchoring me to the soil. I cannot budge. And like the mountain, Though not serene, I sit. Heavy, Immovable, Permanent. But nothing is permanent, Even the mountains, And like the earth, I rumble and groan against my burden And the fury rages and turns Over in my gut Preparing to spew These stones that are not mine Across the earthly plane. Will one gather them And turn them over in their hand And see the scars on their surfaces And wonder where they have been? Will they sit On display? A trophy of my pain, A lesson , A symbol of martyrdom, A rough exterior Encasing a beautiful, Crystalline lotus of wisdom? And once this poison Has been returned to the earth To cleanse and be cleansed I am neutral. A tower of neutral stone A monument A skyscraper Observing the passage of time, And reaching for the heavens In innocent, intuitive knowing. Like the infant stretching arms up to his mother For the comfort of her Orbital motion. I sit.

I Sit.
Anger fills my bones, Like stones, Anchoring me to the soil. I cannot budge. And like the mountain, Though not serene, I sit. Heavy, Immovable, Permanent. But nothing is permanent, Even the mountains, And like the earth, I rumble and groan against my burden And the fury rages and turns Over in my gut Preparing to spew These stones that are not mine Across the earthly plane. Will one gather them And turn them over in their hand And see the scars on their surfaces And wonder where they have been? Will they sit On display? A trophy of my pain, A lesson , A symbol of martyrdom, A rough exterior Encasing a beautiful, Crystalline lotus of wisdom? And once this poison Has been returned to the earth To cleanse and be cleansed I am neutral. A tower of neutral stone A monument A skyscraper Observing the passage of time, And reaching for the heavens In innocent, intuitive knowing. Like the infant stretching arms up to his mother For the comfort of her Orbital motion. I sit.
