Therapist

Probing beneath everyday veneer
in the underbelly of human mind,
where baffling mental stalactite appear,
I give clarity to meaning divined.

What is thought past is felt ever present,
childhood memories bloom into plain view
and origins to overt and latent
patterns repetitive are given clue.

Words that empathize and match buried pain
allow unbound mind to revel in now.
A once jagged emotional terrain
glistens in potential of life tao.

I observe what is judged the mind’s refuse
and yield insight only fools would refuse.
