Analysis of Denial Must



Denial Must
Denial is here –
Assertion to kill:
In Mires of Mere
Acceptance of ill

Percepted Desires
And Thickets of Lusts;
Denial – Quack mire
In Storm of the Dust…

In Storm there is Stillness,
If found is Abode
Where you feel that Illness
The Way find cannot,

That’s Feeling’s asserting,
That Knowledge is firm:
Denial’s denying
Means you’re newly born…

Let Dust set – start Breathing,
Let Water stop – step:
Make Choice for the Cleansing,
Then take resting Nap,

And dream – of Assertion
With no Swamp and Dust,
And then get your Portion
Of Joy – of your Must!..
