rock solid

 


in recovery for over
40 years now

watched em'
come

watched em'
go

many lived

more than a
few died

sat in the rooms

embraced
pain

shared
joy

waded through the
hip deep shit of daily
life without boots

but there was always
a clarity like a crystal
mountain lake

a higher power
looking
down

some would say
"God"

but I would say that God
is too small a term
to define the
journey of
staying
sober
