This Is A Poem That I Wrote & I Think It Describes The Beauty Of Achieving Freedom From Addiction

Learning to Love the Sunset again:

as the sky starts to change the sun and stars the clouds and the moon begin to shine through as the sun is about to fade

the light is passed down from the setting sun to the moon as nighttime takes the reins

the day ends as night begins according to setting skies the light illumines the beauty of her passage by rows of scarlet that lay upon the sun soaked clouds

the radiance of such majesty that covers the earth with a sweet promise of her warm return as the crimson dawn breaks to dusk so dusk must break to dawn

the clouds that reach beyond the crimson tide of the rosy skies settle and show the moon her light as we feel hope even in the night we saw the beauty of another day while the sun did while the sun did fade

a torch of triumph that seals the elegance of such honor flows as the transition from midnight arises in the morning sky

we can see such majesty as the elegance that shows us the world from afar as a dove flies above land that glistens with morning dew...

we are finding the glory from up above as we see the radiance and feel her love as the warm feeling upon our skin...

we are learning to love the sunset again

I' dlike to add another

I' dlike to add another recovery poem - not mine I'm afraid but it moves me every time I read it:

The Guy in the Glass

When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf,
And the world makes you King for a day,
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.

For it isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life

Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.

You may be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.

You can fool the whole world down the pathway of years,
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you've cheated the guy in the glass.

Dale Wimbrow 1895-1954

I like it, very powerful, and one that I think we could all learn from

me myself I love creating poetry and by doing so I can express troubles that ale me and get them out so I donaEU(tm)t bottle them up inside and it has always helped me to create poetry whenever life gets you down... even if it sounds dark and foreboding it's getting it out on paper or as I did on here so those emotions don't remain pent up inside

in fact when your poetry sounds dark and foreboding, to a reasonable degree, then it means you've released your negative feelings and by doing so youaEU(tm)re the cleansing your conscious... so in short if your looking to brighten your life by writing poetry it should sound more dark then it would happy and cheery
