Poem - Dig Deep

Dig
 
Beyond the roots of pain
Beyond reaction
Beyond the aggression
Dig Deep. Find your core.
 
Unearth the you
that's not damaged.
Find it. Bring it forward.
Let it fertilise your soul, your scars.
 
Grow strong vibrant healthy
succulent nourishing plants
that consume the wizened fronds
of scar tissue, lying on your surface.
Replace them, help them heal
 
Dig deep.
 
You had these healthy genes before
They're still there!
Shriven and starved of oxygen.
Bring them out
Let them breathe.
Find your strength.
 
Dig.  Dig Deep and unearth.
