The Cleansing

young man, with good heart,
he lay there ready to expire
the guiding spirit spoke:
"Please forgive me, Mother Earth," was repeated,
over and over, until The Great Mother responded

both sides of his upper torso slowly moved
simultaneously, until they met
there was a resultant cloud of soot
--every destructive element was expelled--

and the man lay there, daring not to move--
he had just experienced the power necessary
to create entire galaxies

he lay there, lost in awe
and once he opened his eyes,
he could, once more, breathe effortlessly
