Sunrise, Molten Gold
Sunrise
It’s beaten me to it once more
Sunrise
Golden bright
It’s light so strong it makes your eyes water
Sunrise
Over the placid blue waters
Neither wave nor a ripple to mar the blue
Sunrise
Casting glimmering flights of molten gold
Between the ripples over the water
As though the light itself was alive
Sunrise
The start of another day
Yet the Sunset heralded the end of yesterday
And I wonder where the night went
Why did it flee so quickly
Like velvet across bare skin
Soft and smooth as it slides free
Darkness
Brings no release from this waking prison
Yes I am still here for the pain I ride
Gives me have no measure of illusion to hide my face
As I hide it from the accusing light of the sun
Boring deep inside this pulsing mass I call a brain
Tentacles of pain surviving any prodding
Like a living thing it takes its nourishment
From the agony inflicted in its wake
Surcease
From this pallid existence
Between moments of peaceful calm
Hard fought with acceptance and calm
Each moment a drop of relief
So small it could be overlooked
Yet there it is
Comfort
From knowing I have the secret
The Secret
Peace, calm, acceptance, mindfulness
The tools
I now have to overcome this
Nemesis
Called Pain
Moon over water at Byron
Have a great weekend

Amazing…. I see and feel your pain as I am with you all day and night, yet I am in awe of the beauty you produce, despite the pain, or is it because of the pain?
No one should have to suffer like this, yet I wonder at what is created through it… That seems like a terrible thought and I wouldn’t wish it on anyone… However, I know that if we had been out partying all night, without you in this pain, you’d have slept soundly and the world would not have your beautiful words to read…
Were I given the choice… Well, I’d hate to have to make that choice…
