Beyond the High
One says that clear head leads to good life led
but a habit of getting right sabotages a clean mind,
process of detoxing a poisoned body
struggling to tolerate withdrawal and stay alive.
the sweats, shakes and stomach aches,
what is real and what is fantasy so blended.
Dancing with death, controlled by deep pain,
living in illusions until the brain is mended.
the high…
and when did living life stop being enough?
intoxication just road blocks and hand cuffs.
So embrace the possibilities of thinking,, laughing, dreaming,
sweet sunshine, warm embrace, living life with real meaning.
to be alive, to be present, to exist with mind clear
acting from the heart, love realized, inner spirit finally set free.
