Poetic Thoughts - Meaningful Meltdown - by C.W. Pruitt II
posted: Mar. 30, 2018

Poetic Thoughts header

Things are not always as they seem. So it is with suffering. When reflecting on difficult times we may have an enhanced perspective:

Meaningful Meltdown

My break down
was also a break through-
like purification by fire.
  Trial by ordeal
    can be unpleasant.
      Wood, hay, and stubble
      are consumed
    but gold
  is refined.
I came to realize
that Love       is all there is.
  And so         I know
    we would all do well
      to break-it-down
        and melt down
        to what matters.

The Bottom

The Bottom
Is
Cold
Hard
Insensitive
And may provide
Solid ground
From which to spring
Skyward
