Active addiction - a fine seine catching lives
tossing them in deceitful waves of brightly colored glitter
blending real time with frosting and curl
that dries and crumbles as years pass
body and mind morphing to fit chemical demands.
Searching to feel real once more, yet clinging to the familiar, shares risk.
Becoming entangled in the great net of active addiction
a real danger while swimming away from the trap.
When will and determination slip through
openings in the seine in even the deepest ocean
there is another chance to kick free
swim through currents and rapids
wash the faded glitter away
find joy surfacing in a strange new world.
“Death is not the biggest fear we have; our biggest fear is taking
the risk to be alive - the risk to be alive and express who we are.”
~ Miguel Angel Ruiz
