Liquid

Liquid

As the liquid completes his body
The mind calms to a halt
Knowing the calamity of the world has stopped
And what his soul defines as peace
Starts to set in
While trying to inflate the emptyness that lies within
If only for a short quivering space in time
The harshness and the unrighteous of his journey
Fades to a distant reality  
Which is all he needs to give him that taste of peace in his life again

Your podcast gave me more context. I sensed pain but was unaware of the depth. So sorry for your loss. Hugs Rick.
