Rinse Clean

Mind - a pool, deep and arcane, Needs to be cleansed from time to time. In the sinuous course of life, Pause awhile, to peer into the depths. Over the still waters, lies a layer of scum. At the bottom is settled, Toxic sediments of hate, The residue of burnt dreams…….. Of unsavoury passions….. If unattended, in this slushy mass of filth Maggots may breed, Eating into the flesh Poisoning the vital serum Pumped through the veins. Purge the dross Flush out the dirt Rinse it clean And feast on the sparkle, Of clear waters Springing from the well heads of love!
