sunrise sobriety
soul by soul
gathering together
as one
in a room
with no walls
and waves
that gently
greet the morning sun
wayfarers
trudging the road
to happy destiny
day after dutiful day
some stringing together hours
other stringing years
all as one
one for all
on the beach at popoia
breathing
new day air
oblivious to
things that can’t be changed
searching for wisdom
in this one hour
of spiritual healing
that is being passed
one to another
in the most gentle of ways
with unity
service
and the ultimate gift
another day if recovery
