Morgan

I said goodbye to a house today
I cried in every room
Emptied the basement
And buried the keys
My first home, first garden
My first sanctuary, All was completely mine
Before my child came into the world
It knew me
When I was unburdened
Young and free, yet weighted to my past
I left my prints on every wall, floorboard, woodwork, surface
I hung the paneling in the bathroom
The morning before my mother died
From before I buried my nightmares
Began to sleep through the night again
Cut ties to gangrenous limbs
It was before I knew You
The Fire that burns bridges
Recycles rotted trees of the forest
To fertilize the soil for new birth
I awakened years ago but didn't really feel it until today
The dime in my hand felt heavy from memories
It was sad, relief, and a lightening
To let go of what I no longer needed
This is Liberation
