Permanent.
To be without change
without difference
constant
never ending.
I wrote this in Aug...
and so it goes
that all things MUST change.
for it's the only constant
the only
hope
the only piece
of what we have
to offer
that stays ever
true.
Us.
We.
We are the constant
the edge the change
shall ride upon
the winds that rage
& rip through us
that can never truly
diminish what we've
become.
I sit here
a different person
for sure.
Weaker in many
respects.
And I proudly say
stronger in
others.
And
I even proudly tell you
that my weakness
my courage
in it
is who I am
who I have become.
Because
this fragile life
around us
so delicately draped
is an armor
a shield
a protective cover
of night
that
not even the harshest
lights
can destroy.
It's a path
a walkway
a stone
pebble covered
village
country stroll.
A quiet stream
leading to the ever
bigger sea
one we will someday all
be
together.
But for now
these Warriors
who walk beside me
who walk MY path now
who no longer
simply walk behind
but
lead the way
they guide me
as I guide them.
They walk point
when I should have
done it for them
They clear the path ahead
&
give me the all clear
that its safe
that they have
cleared the way.
These Warriors
who walked in front
for so long
who still take the lead
when they are called.
These
newest ones
these Warriors
in the
making
before my eyes
have become more than I ever dreamed.
They have morphed into
a graceful
powerful machine
capable
confident
sure
in part
I know
because of who
they've always
had to
be
long before
this particular
tour
began.
I know
this world
will now be
in good hands
because the fires
of hell can
forge a weapon
of steel
that can't
be bent
&
it can
destroy
what ever good
that was left.
But it's the Warriors
the ones that walk
through the flames
&
reach for you
THESE
are
My Heroes
Warriors
Of
Recovery.
