The Onion of Me

As each layer is peeled back,
a new layer is exposed to invite.
Sometimes the pungency conjures up tears;
sometimes it emits a treasure of delight.
The sheaths masking
-
fear
-
joy
-
memories
-
resentment
-
and sadness
are peeled away by
-
love
-
acceptance
-
courage
-
honesty
-
and forgiveness.
A lifelong quest since youth,
journeying beyond what others deem,
into the heart of truth,
the core truth of me.
