Another Road

Stability, sanity

Is a search

It is a goal

I reach and reach

Into the depths of my being

To find peace

To find happiness

And I have it

Even if I still feel pain

It is only temporary

It will pass

Just as the sun moves

Through the sky

It is not still

As does the moon

Reflecting the sun

It is full now

The night light glorious

I know I am found

In the moon’s light

My fantasies

Play out in my head

There are scenes

People, thoughts, riddles

Even songs sometimes

But poetry is helping

And meds

The earth is blooming

I can feel her

I can feel all of it

So sensitive

I am overwhelmed

But as the mind clears

I am here

I am not alone when

The noise in my head ceases

I have Steve

My cat and dog

It is humbling

Life is so simple

And the music sounds better

In solitude

In simplicity

I can find rest

It can be plain

God, rest, love

It may not be easy

But it is simple

Kind, Loving, hopeful

I let the edges fray

I give way to chaos

I choose ease

I choose faith

I choose humility

And as my fantasies fade

I find myself

Again, on the shore

So now I watch the waves

No longer swimming

No longer lost

The water washed me

Covered in salt and sand

I find solid

I am here, now

Just another road

Taken and held
