A Kernel of Truth
Poem by Thal Mohammed
There is a kernel of truth in everything.
Keep sweeping the grounds of your Being.
Let no piece of you escape to the shadows.
Seep en masse.
Enter your darkness.
Do not just tread the peripheries.
Your pain is Ancient.
Merge into your madness.
Listen to the melodies of every crack. Every whimper.
Append your veins with the old branches of a tree
in a forest of Canadian winter.
Sweep en masse.
Extend upwards. Extend inwards.
Now you burn alight.
Keep sweeping the vestiges of your ego.
Awashed with the silence of sacredness in everything.
Rejoice over the beats of the drum of Love.
Rejoice!
Behold!
Behold the paradox.
