This awakening
Of listening to tapes
And viewing my life in verse

This strength not to rage
But to reflect for guide posts
For detours lurking
For words to be wary of
The very cost of thoughts I've beheld
Of moves I have choreographed;

I now know of ease, and courage
Not forgetting to regret... .
