Today I can breathe, there is actually air
Nevermore the black cloud of exhaust
Filling my lungs with despair
Yes today I can breathe, I can feel, I can see
Today is a hit of reality.
Somewhere from the depths I came,
And emerging will I ever be,
But at least for now a shimmering
Shining horizon approaches me.
Delicately traversing
Interlude rehearsing
Unmasked and shameless, for once,
Open and free my manifest destiny
Unexplainable and certainly not perfect
This life
But ceremoniously majestic
Profound.  Clear.  Lucid.
Finally…
