I no longer awaken thinking I had died during the night.
No more heavy weight in my chest dragging breath down.
No more lead-bottomed stomach trying to turn fear over.
No more panic tightening limbs positioned to run.
No more thinking thoughts unable to connect.
I am clear now.
Righteous anger replaces my new-found ability to hate.
Courage courses through veins relieved of pain.
Love for others suffering alongside me on common ground abounds.
A coalition of resistance finds strengthened legs and spine.
Brains calm and stay alert and plan how to go up and not down.
I am clear now.
I see the game to disarm and disarray all opposition.
I see the realization victory by evil forces always subsides.
I see the ability of good hearts to speed the failure along.
I see creativity lead ideas ahead, instead of repeating past retreats.
I am clear now.
Here.
Now.
Let me show you.
Together.
We can move mountains
of greed and fear and doubt.
I am clear now.
