Treasure Hunt

ByRick Ellsmore

Words flowing

Pieces fitting

Ones that have

Been non-fitting

For a lifetime

Been digging

Through rock and clay

Breaking shovel

After shovel

Splintered hands

Stripped of skin

Searching for answers

Within the rubble

Stumbling upon

A deep chasm

Jumping into

An old cave

Suffocating

Offering rest

From the ongoing

Onslaught

Listening to

The spirits alive

In this space

Treasure hunt

For freedom

Knowing survival

And liberating

Discovery

Now possible

Religion no longer

Pulling the wool

Over my eyes

    There is A Way One that offers Joy, peace, and Love It blows In the growing  Green Aspen leaves Follows these same Browning leaves Floating through The crisp air As they Miraculously feed The ground below This Way Lightens the load Allowing for Fresh lungs To expand Taking in Newness Light-hearted laughter Recognizing the opportunity…
