The Greatest Way to Recover

Spring 2011

And in this life discover

Is to be yourself,

For your limits

We'll appreciate,

Though this may sound

Leaving you stunned

            standing

                        and led to rest

            Your feet

Must keep walking

For to be you must challenge

Yourself to overcome fear-

's native destructiveness

That blocks haute color

Of a life in deep longing

Where feet never languish

And hearts never break

Attacking only with love

And strength to meet its match

In equal strength to hold back,

Like a child sent to school too young,

Being both conscious and unaware

That your time never stops

Proceeding from space and matter

Means both are on your platter

To dine and deliver as you will

             Subject to evil found in legs

Grown tired and sick of twitching,

Fights to maintain

Divine origin

Along guarantees of Peace and

Balance to destroy selfishness,

Knowledge

And Control,

                                    All illusions to accomplishment

                                    Of a goal long desired,

                                    Ardently sought.
