Grave Thy Companion

GRAVE THY COMPANION

Fiery shadow claw deep the surface of life

Life wrought destructive taste – embraced by a boy destined to slay the man

They all preached oh how he could be – he could be - he could be; fuck them all

They see not thy reflection gazing back predatory eyes gleaming

Slavering for the throat – ambiguous strain for life we yield

Hushed thoughts that scream

Relief is isolated

Gallop good companion – if thy reach me -

penny these tortured eyes

I have but to accompany thy self

To the gates of hell we stride forth

I march in line trembling detour

He screams; I abide the order

It is just that; disastrous order

Hollowed prints of those before me, embrace the gravel with a silence all could hear

The gates call – I lend my ear

The movement is breached – we find our eternal sleep

Thy grave is my companion – the silence none could hear

I’ve lent this demon all future years

From Darkness to Light ~ Mike F.

“But if you will seek God earnestly, and plead with the almighty, if you're pure and upright, even now he will rouse himself on your behalf and restore you to your prosperous state. Your beginnings will seem humble, so prosperous your future will be”. ~ Book of Job From Darkness to Light....~ At a very young age I felt a disconnect spiritually. A lot of times I felt less then or that I didn't quite fit in. I would use sports to compensate or lose myself In collecting baseball cards. I started experimenting with weed and liquor in middle school. When I was a freshman in high school my step father passed away. That crushed me. The disconnect I felt as a child got worse and there was a void inside me that I could not fill. The pain led me to use drugs and alcohol on a regular basis. I was addicted by 16 years old; selling to support my habit. During this time I put myself in some horrible situations. I was robbed at gun point with a shotgun put to my head; not something ...

The Tides of Life tide /tīd/ Learn to pronounce noun noun: tide; plural noun: tides the alternate rising and falling of the sea, usually twice in each lunar day at a particular place, due to the attraction of the moon and sun. The tides of Life flow endlessly for better or worse - to rise and fall - to live to die. The current hurls the tide. It is the currents function to move, to throw, to float, to create and the tide to lift the sea. Mother Nature has her function and it is always fulfilled. The Sea, void of tide and current is an abyss of stillness and would be a horizon of glass. It sometimes looks that way! That’s when we dive in and lift the weight of gravity off our shoulders! Hopefully swim with some sea turtles. How cool that we oppose a universal law - Gravity - in the ocean!? Gravity doesn’t go anywhere. It still has its hold on the Universe. It just simply doesn’t control us to the degree it does on land! Suhhh hahhh dude. Okay, back on script. Ocean ...

In the Midst of Winter

In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer. As if that wasn’t powerful enough, Albert Camus goes on to write “and that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger- something better, pushing right back.” I connected with the first part of the quote immediately. Having spent most of my life believing that I was weak and powerless- choosing sobriety was the most empowering decision I’ve ever made. Rising FROM THE GRAVE and transforming my life redefined me, but it also opened up a whole world of new struggles. When I finally decided I was ready to get sober, I had an expectation that the rest of my life was going to be a piece of cake. Surrendering was such a freeing experience that it left me short-sighted. I was under the false impression that all my struggles, negative coping mechanisms, and behaviors would be instantaneously removed. Boy was I wrong. I ...
