cleaning out the cluttered cupboard, setting aside the dainty morsels,
dissecting the soul’s clutter, stopping the engine and draining the dregs
heart sauna cleaning the pores of greed and lust, pondering the path of life, rediscovering the landmarks of sanity
filling up the empty cup with grace refreshing the weary marrow with virtue
unstoppable are the strides of those broken by your hands, bold as the lion, swift as the eagle, gentle as the dove
conquering the rampaging beast by a new found strength, confronting the marauding night with anew zest
