Pain is but the distance between two precious things….

no one seems to be where they want to be
save the ones who are miles from departing sleep
don’t misread me
aspirations towards achieving humanity are laudable
but need we escape from this reality
or is it reality which is escaping us
those pulsating sensations of inner incoherency
aren’t they a signal from some still deeper region
deeper yes, but still, and even more truly us?
a region which kens true north
and pleads soft that we quiet enough to hear
and knows that entering the agony is the healing
not wallpapering it over with the latest opiate
