WAR HAS CEASED FOR A MOMENT MORE

the mountains are finally silent.
mind and body at rest

MY HATS ARE FINALLY GONE

how sick i was being someone
i am not

i was a poet one minute and a freak the next
i was a believer
a see'er
a do'er
and now I'm all licked up in life
and i see no more shadows on the walls.

it isn't something i can explain
i can't explain my journey because it can't be written
its certainly isn't something i can remember

but the feeling hasn't gone away
of relief
of grace
of peace

and I'm madly in love
with the feeling of relief.

and during the rare moments of dreams
i feel pain
but it never ceases to bother me

and i believe you can do this too
with time.

give it time.
