Abating
Madness Abating
These past few hours, peaceful
how long since I’ve been at peace
tumults of my own making
plagued me more days than I recall
Now, I’m learning again
to believe in miracles
watching one hour at a time
sober and accepting
as life unfolds with new meaning
and though old ghosts may haunt
I walk paths of serenity
heart open to the wide world
mind open to solutions
spirit open to hope and miracle.

always – hope and miracles – always
Yes, we can’t live without miracles.
