You asked for a taste & you didn’t take it all. For someone who has missed a meal, slept or attempted when hunger wasn’t wanted. Cravings turn into desires, then into needs, then into must-haves. Must I? Must the control conquer the calm? Now, in this moment I’m calm. There is no storm, just waves. Softly, slowly, showing their presence. I know what it can be. A time or two … hell let’s be real … maybe a million. I’ve seen it before. But what I want “Oh God” more than anything is the unseen. The quench to be quieted, the sobriety strength to be stronger. Today shows me, a day, a day lived longer.
