In my head
Joni Mitchell sings
Both Sides Now
As tears flow.
My soul
A distance place
Where memories are
Bittersweet smile
Upon my face.
Of those times
Struggling to find
Life's rich message
In my mind.
Wondering
Does it matter
At all?
Darkness
Gathers round
Threatening my illusions
With the sound
Of truth.
Body rocks
Back and forth
Seeking that rest
From life's test.
Knowing
Time has come
Where I've emerged from.
Looking for
That final kiss
To life's bliss.
As Joni's voice
Fades away
In the background.
