Dear Friend, Do Not Give Up


I went into the darkest forests of my mind
and came out with eyes more sensitive to the light…

I ate from the most bitter of fruits
and developed a taste that sings of the possibilities of sweetness…

I had ears ravaged by the wailing of my woes
and discovered peace in these sublime stretches of silence…

I held in my hands my own broken spirit
and felt along the cracks for what needed to be mended…

I became revolted by the stench of my depression
and I fell back in love with the perfume of life, love, and laughter…
