#(an exposé on the horrors of sand-tray therapy)
Before the sand is touched,
the world tilts..
Something buried
begins to wake..
a hum rising from the marrow,
a corridor forming
from forgotten terror.
At its end,
the sand waits..
still, ominous,
holding an entire underworld.
A child’s world
sealed in darkness
slowly unseals itself.
The buried horrors shift--
not content
to remain unseen.
And with them rises
the oldest dread:
the fear of being alone
in the deep.
The fear that God
cannot enter this night.
And the equal terror
that He can..
that His coming would
undo the self..
the child built to survive.
*What happens
if Love descends
into the place
where even breath
learned to hide?*
Here..
the lost childhood waits:
years unlived,
tears uncried,
a small form folded
into disappearance,
a ghost made
to keep itself alive.
And yet..
an ember remains.
The incorruptible.
The one spark
violence could not claim.
Light widens.
Shapes rise in the sand..
not memories,
but the moments themselves:
the terror,
the breaking,
the room where time stopped.
And around them,
the second casualties..
the ones swallowed
in the blast radius
of the ungrieved wound.
The crescendo begins.
Shadows gather..
walls breathe.
The buried rise
grain by grain,
pulse by pulse..
not to reclaim,
but to release.
Not to reopen the wound..
but to lift the child
from the cathedral of sand
into the first impossible light.
