Detox

The quiet moments
Of my day
Reveal the words 
I'd love to say

More in the wings
Than headline star
Not quite goodbye
More au revoir

No end, just waiting
At the start
The work horse
Eager for a cart

A sense of purpose
Nowhere to wander
DNR
For first responder

It's kind of weird
This sense of loss
Yet beautiful
Above the dross

The ache a pill
Just can't restore
Quite satisfied
Yet wanting more

Suppose it's Time
Our ancient friend
Who walks us home
'Til healings end

While head is full
Of hopes and oughts
Addictive you
Pervades my thoughts

A purposeful poem like this one speaks to those who are searching. Thank you for your outstretched hand. America needs to talk about drugs.
