Ablution

byHarryHill©

Wash your wounds in sweet water
 get some knee pads for crawling 'round those rocks

 Breathe, find your center, focus
 the jewel in the lotus becomes an eye
 see yourself, be...

 Rise from the darkness, seek light
 look around at what you've found
 beauty, truth, absolution
