Truth Stands Up

In my mind I fill you up with truth  –
I see the rare surge of its pull,
great burst of aliveness
from catching hold of it,
letting it zing you to the core

You’ll be back
because you need this
more than anything,
you sense that it will take you
to all you’ve ever wanted
(which is true)
and it releases you
from all the pincers that would hold you trapped
in endless ugly mazes of conditions

In my mind I seek to recognize
that truth is everywhere
and so you must be filled with it –
no room for anything like rationalization,
no room for being forced, for being cowed,
for being frightened  –
truth stands up in you,
and you will gladly serve it,
truth stands up in you
and you are free.
