Freedom from what ails me,
a darkened thing that hovers near
when I am smile-smiling,
when I am face-facing,
when I am talk-talking
to the blank-eyed,
loveless,
heartsick,
soulworn,
limping wisps
that try to pull me
off my path.
I have a direction.
I have a purpose.
I found it just now.
Just you wait.
Here I come.
