time is ticking
ever faster
for this dream chaser,
this lover of peace
and the simple things
that make
life worthwhile to live
so thankful for a
faithful soulmate
in this journey
and all who have taught,
shared their time with
and have accepted
this humble soul
into their fold
each passing minute
brings a greater realization
that we are all here to learn
from one another
in this interactive and
spectacular web
of interconnectedness
the last of many demons were
lain to rest
the very moment I realized
that I choose to never become
uncomfortably
numb.
