On Catharsis and Pomegranates

Take your life apart, like a pomegranate deseed,
Get your hands dirty, let every secret be revealed.

Watch your life kernels as they tumble and fall apart
Bloody and raw, coming straight from the heart.

See the imprint of the past, ingrained on the husk,
Free it from your self made cage, free it you must.

Stay focused, follow the brightness of the sun
Don’t hold back, let yourself come undone.

Crimson smudged, bloody, doubtless you will tire.
But try and persevere, and in reward you will rewire.

In the breaking, the unbecoming, you will surely find
A spurt of growth, almost a reincarnation of a kind.
