"from the Other Side of Whence It Came"
~ I was feeling the great heckler ...
taunting me, torturing me in my sorrow;
making me sorely depressed, angry, uncertain;
lost ... and-alone, and the lot; towards my
existence, and I-still-do-not-know ... nor
care when, or from whence it came, nor
how-through my bewilderment it still
remained to form, because I am so
overjoyed ... today ...that I came
out non disheartened and for
the better thanking God for
delivering me from the spirit,
of this painful utterance,
awakened-from-the-
seat-of-my-soul ...
because a new
freedom has
come for
me; and-found-me-well ... and so
very hopeful again, and grateful; to
be alive; standing-up ... boldly ... and
shouting hallelujah ... on-the-other-side. ~
