Poems About Healing by New Members

I am not music or art or poetry or hope
I am only what I have always been

tho my hands dance with ivory keys
hauntin silence with whispered confessions
tho I've surrendered nights to Ravel's ghost
as "gaspard de la nuit" possessed my soul
I am not music

tho I’ve painted skies from dreams
while darkness pooled beneath brushstrokes
tho colors bled thru my veins
when bottles stood empty in mornin light
I am not art

tho I've filled journals with fractured thoughts
tho I've written my breaths ...

I am not music or art or poetry or hope
I am only what I have always been

tho my hands dance with ivory keys
hauntin silence with whispered confessions
tho I've surrendered nights to Ravel's ghost
as "gaspard de la nuit" possessed my soul
I am not music

tho I’ve painted skies from dreams
while darkness pooled beneath brushstrokes
tho colors bled thru my veins
when bottles stood empty in mornin light
I am not art

tho I've filled journals with fractured thoughts
tho I've written my breaths ...
