ALL A WASH IN YOUR SUNLIGHT #

Folder: 
JOURNAL #36

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...
