Sage advice
“Settle deep in rotting soil,
CG Ragnar
refrain from budding out.
I laugh at your struggle and toil –
no change to bring about.
The sun is out of reach.
Our branches will wither.
All strength my toxins leech –
until death comes hither.
You can’t sprout.
Was that your goal?
Forget, fade out –
Decay into coal.
I’ll plant seeds of doubt,
rip the roots if we grow,
starve every dream with drought,
and put salt where I sow.”
Stop. Breathe deep.
Command. Don’t listen
– And let go. Leap.
Turn fear into frisson.
