A Poem

The sky, misty and beyond grey

Occasional rain cleansing my skin

Only for the sudden sunshine to peek

Forging my footsteps in another area

Into the forest of calm

Paranoia sets, then quickly fades

Step by step, open air surrounds

All that encompasses the space

A beautiful denial, a perfect moment

Ninety seconds of catatonia

Eyes toward the baby blue sky

Collecting the data of multiple actions

Then erasing them from my brain

The unknown figures of the past

I want eliminated from what happened last

The symptom conceptualized as a distraction

Can only be treated by a moment of silence

After the ungodly hour of cuddling

And my small prayer ceasing unrest

My soul bears no guilt, only peace

But all that is beautiful and fickle

Have been treated with love, dignity and respect.
