starry night
shining bright
guide me
towards the
Infinite Light
I want to burn with life
fully present and alive
The shape itself
Captures this
poem well

Love is
Down
Below
The place
we all
once
fell
*
love consumes and mends
the broken places in my life
another day sober and free
new possibilities rising
from despair to hope
resentment to love and tolerance

walking through difficulty
with my head held high
trusting in a Loving Higher Power
holding my daughter close

no longer isolated and alone
I trudge the road of happy destiny
with friends: brothers and sisters
who lift me up when I stumble and fall

I get to show up to life today
I am so grateful for second chances
to live life sober and free
my heart reaching out to help another
speak out
against hatred
love who you love*
without fear
Self hatred can be very destructive.
