Deep in the pocket of the day
I found a quiet place
Free from my eight-bar loop of mistakes
No confrontation can take it away
I lost everything
But here I am and I’m feeling good today
I was shattering
But here I am
A knife in the fire
There are no memories I would keep
Save for these last few days
No more resentments, fear or distrust
The light hasn’t died
But it has changed
I lost everything
But here I am and I’m feeling good today
I was shattering
But here I am
A knife in the fire
A jovial, heavy jawed, red face
Some grey in his close-trimmed hair
Like it or not he came to me
Like it or not he is always around
A grip of vicious compassion
A kiss of unconditional acceptance
No one can take him away
He’s more than a passenger now
He’s my paradise
If you feel like mist that graciously draws edges silken, as bitter clouds burst in droplets – a burnt hand would warily seek their comforting warmth – to let you wash your shame in tears; luxuriously tonguing atonement&salt , then this is what I recommend to you.

I am again at the mercy of the great sea. Unpredictable, dangerous, and beautiful. I know not if my raft will hold, but I'm sure my journey will be an interesting one. Christian Jensen
