Just like sex
I have realized
that my life
led up to
this now moment
where as before
so much of
it was getting
and now after
having had it
I get to
experience the calm
the peace basking
in my afterglow

I first started writing this blog as a way to refocus my thinking after a debilitating mental breakdown in 2008. Having been educated in writing, I had hoped that my love for words would have left a trail for me to follow and, well, here we are.
SometimesThis
I’m just
a tree
in some
field faraway
standing here
I’ve once
been swing
once been
shade even
once encircled
by singing
voices laughing
but now
I stand
so tired
having been
all that
for others
knowing what
not why
one is
brings comfort
to even
this tree
in some
field close
once even
though having
never moved
JustDon’tGo
It’s not that
you are gone
but I am
being back there
where you left
me still puzzled
if you want
me now you’ll
have to come
back to there
for here doesn’t
belong to you
EverWill
After having
now done
I reflect
upon what
for which
and why
and where
and who
sit behind
not beside
now no
one likely
ever will
DidHadDo
Or maybe
I did
as things
don’t do
things that
once had
I can’t
really say
maybe you
can tell
me if
I did
have or
maybe do
