My Heart Is a Sweet Maui Onion ©2006

By Royce Addington

Peel back the fragile layers

And what do we choose to see

Beware and go with caution

For it’s a place you will forever “BE”

There’s no turning back

The essence unfolds

Pungent and Powerful

Sometimes Painful

Sometimes Bold

Personal Truths may await you

Stark realizations unwittingly keep you bound

Ruthless disappointment may reign within

Hope and Desire

They MUST be found!

Transparent as dragonfly wings

Thick as crimson blood

What is revealed may be quite clear

Or Quicksand

Or Mud

If all fears were but illusion

The inner critics banished for eternity

Self-sabotage would be non-existent

This freedom is Passion’s key

Without self-doubt or recrimination

Where could our Imaginations flow

Possibilities are infinite

The beating heart of our inner Universe

Always waits to tell us so…
