Would you agree
lately, that we are both
guilty of self-medicating?
Perhaps just a tad
to lighten the load?
Perhaps just a bit
to greet our griefs
with half-smile floaty spirits?
Alas, there is light in darkness.
A light unseen by the human eye,
but felt only from deep within.
The kind of light
that stings and smokes
as precious rays torch your insides.
