At least, not anymore –
Rising unbidden to wrap my soul
In envies, petty anger, vanities,
Toxic resentments…
Attributes wholly unholy
Are crushed beneath the weighty heel
Of conscience trained,
And broken tendrils evaporate
As fog at sunrise.
My decisive heart springs free
to drum its joyful beat.
I turn the page. I am renewed.
For those thoughts are not mine.
At least, not anymore.
