Ashes and Snow by Gregory Colbert

Let your instinctual shadow
Turn into the words that
you whisper
in your morning prayers
A ritual offering to your fears

Let the darkness seep through
And witness how it becomes light
Let your rage become
a stepping stone,
a work in progress
a servant without chains

Enter the wild places within you
Like you enter the forest
Humble and open
without apologies
You are the hunter
and you are the prey
There is no perfection
And that in itself is
