Clean - Sunday Scribblings #233

Written for Sunday Scribblings prompt 233 - clean

C L E A N
I have been dirty

but now I am clean

I have been invisible

but now I am seen

I have been confused

but now I am clear

I have been far away

but now I am near

I have been my ego

but now I'm my soul

I was broken in pieces

but now - I am whole


For more on the subject of clean - read my Magpie tale
- it seems to be a trending topic this week!

So much said in so little! I agree with Flying Monkey. This was very, VERY powerful. You have a way with words! :] I especially liked the repetition of the sentence structure. It helped form a rhythm.

Keep up the good work!

Susannah, I like this. It reminded me so much of "Amazing Grace". I think it could be set to music beautifully.
