What if?After all these years of writing about addictions nursing care
Shelving the so-called manuscripts
Putting them under the bed
Filing them in drawers behind the utility statements
The books I’ve rattled on about are already written
Broken into pieces like the pieces of a jigsaw puzzle
To be dumped out, sorted and put together
Creating huge possibilities from all of my words
I found the courage and bravery for such an archeological dig.
To search through the shelves and under the beds
Freed them from the files and the utility statements
Putting them in order in my mind, heart and between covers.
“You’re worried about what-ifs. Well, what if you stopped worrying?”
