Just Another Day

if I were to offer
you a way out
would you give me
a way in
could you reach
past the emptiness
to the tightness within
is there a
light in kindness
where I only
know the dark
reaching to
the center
to strike a spark
I know there is
another hand
and it can help me
find my way
for I feel
so lost
in
today is just
another day

Helen, I have accomplished much when I know the proper day of the week . . .
like a swirling madness of ups and downs
over
and
over
again . . .

in the words of my

you have
my word

Amen.

This is such truth, so dead-pan honest. Much here, and much behind....thank you for saying what has to be a piece of most of us.
