Mental housecleaning

SUSAN M. SCHMELTZ

Today
I will sort
into two distinct piles
false material beliefs
and real spiritual facts.
Then,
into the fire of progress with the false beliefs!
Let them resume
their native state
of nothing
as the flame consumes their claim
of a right to exist.

Last,
but far from least,
I will polish each spiritual fact
until its treasured glow
outshines the consuming flames
and fills my house with light.
