As the haunting breeze rustles the leaves of symbolic alchemy
justifications are pulled through the roots
to the open limbs of passivity

The Incumbent base resting in brutal soil,
beset with fallen branches
A hollowed trunk of hostility
witness to violent inflictions
(as rays of hate spill from the sky)
the blood of love coagulates
slowing to wry echoes of laughter,
in the chronic, seeping sap
of ego as master

I love this Jake. From the title that totally captivated my interest to the echoes of an old soul in this penning. That first line is brilliant and sets the tone unmistakably. That ego is something else...eh? I interpreted this as almost like the "Law of Attraction"...what was put in was given back, and your execution was on point. Thank you for sharing, and Congrats on making the Spotlight!!!
