Sobriety

Sobriety For some it’s chasing the tail of A dragon. Walking the White Line. Clouds billowing Through fits Of expelled Inhalation. In mine, I drowned. A trickle.. Dark guttery substance letting Loose Into bottomless oceans. I could feed the worlds Thirst Upon the heaviness of my Addiction. I was forever Unquenched. Unsatisfied, until My dark passenger Had hydrated his anger. Filling soulful joy To tar like bitterness. Body aflame In pain, Drowning in a desert with only a Mirage In the distance of salvation. Lies, Told to one’s self. No more. Today, I rise. Standing..breathing. Being. Day by day, One by one. Today.. I am like a flowing snow melt Stream. Clean, Pure. Godly is my love, As I am filled and drink upon its Serenity. God… Thy will..not Mine.. Be done. Praise with me, to days Gone by. My knees are strong, my will Never bending as mine eyes, Filled with Heavens gates, Gaze into futures bright. This is me, Let it be, That pink cloud..that hovers still by my side. Shield me, oh lord.. From dark temptation into that bright Yonder ‘morrow.
