restoration

restoration I must be crazy
wading into such messes
without any protection
unarmed in wide-eyed innocence
seeking the hidden beauty
buried beneath the scars
still I am happy to be me
Everyone deserves to have
knowledge of their inner beauty
especially if no one has
ever reflected that to them
from the mirror of a heart that
has also known of pain
Cleaning up
that toxic emotional waste
may not ultimately be my privelege
but environmental restoration
of the human heart
quixotic or not
will always remain a noble fight
