beneath the muck of such a sadness's grip
that great possibility of impossibleness
has finally fell away
and alas allowed the gray
dulled caterpillar
the inner strength needed
to release the butterfly
and free from within the ability
to fully enjoy the beauty of any
given day
a wide cliff of achievement
for certain
born from the grace of an unshadowable
peace
for how could any man walk out in the sunlight
with love
when the shadows harness him always to his
former years of burden and grief
I smile to bear witness
to such miraculous change
before me
in you
that has occurred
and welcome this re-lighted you
to step away from all that
baggage of woundless ache
and re emerge as graceful
as before
now
a warm, intelligent, loving, giving man
minus all that bothersome blue...
