Tapestry Threaded
Sobriety
to reclaim momentum like a thrown fast ball
to get beyond the confinement of a booze-haze
when beer came before bread
an escape from one's self
submerged under foam
free from the bottle
no longer on the edge of living with bits and drabs of rot
a colorful landscape that re-boots resilience
tapestry hues
that sheath images, glowing
recovering a lost sense of time
brought into focus
the resolve: to weave a new reality of self
narrative change
clear eyes that sweep the world clean
newly knitted to others
a tapestry
no longer threadbare
no sense of unraveling
no more screaming at the stars
the surprising clarity of giant strides
a renewal
rising
