A Recovery Poem--For Anyone Struggling

A light show Within the night sky Strikes of lightning Shines tonight, The quiet rumbling Of thunder, I feel the heavens Pull me under, I’m in a trance, While I watch the skies dance, The winds blow stronger, The raindrops start, I close my eyes, And open my heart, My hair flows with the wind, This is bliss, I don’t want it To end, My peace of mind, Is in the sky, I don’t say a word, I don’t ask “why”, Whoever’s making the skies Bright, I feel them enter My somber mind, This is my escape, This is it, The hairs on my neck Stand up straight, I feel the spirit of the sky And it feels great, The sky lights grow brighter, And the thunder roars, The trees start swaying, To and fro, I feel as light as the Leaves of the trees, “I surrender!” I scream on bended knees, “Oh thy in the sky, Show me the way, To the right path, I don’t wish to astray” The raindrops pour, My skin is wet, I can’t distinguish The rain from my tears, I’m finally free From all my fears, The spirit that Is lighting up The night, Has given me the strength To win this fight, I stand up on my Bare feet, Hold out my arms And admit I’m beat, My second chance, To do it right, I’ll embrace the spirit Of the sky, With all my might, A new start, With a free heart and mind, I’m going to do it, One day at a time…
