The final week of National Recovery Month at The Meadows featured a poetry project, along with Pia Mellody on-hand to meet and greet families and workshop participants. The following is a poem submitted during the poetry project.
“Alive and, well . . .”
Undecided…
For now.
My mind will be made up
Soon, and very soon.
For we all must choose
But first we go within
And meet all sorts there,
There within where all is still.
In that stillness
The weights are measured-
The balance is evened-
Meeting all who’ve ever lived.
And then returning –
Emerging and begging – “The question once again?”
I asked, “How are you today?”
“Oh… Alive and, well…
I’m fine… and you?”
