People From My Past
Some shine endlessly like stars select
I look around. My inner lamp aglow
Life is shared with those... fragile as my recovery.
We fall and rise undisguised with hunger, and thirst-
A promise of ripened fruits, while
Kaleidoscopic skies awaken us.
People from my past paints the rainbow
Feast upon starlit skies; for
They speak of snares,
The burning of bridges, and
Scripts of haste and utter waste.
Yet, on stage of life, who rules?
The fallen, and
Those with hope to rise again,
Sobriety speaks.
