Almost

Almost there

About 1 more week to go

One more pattern so close to being broken, and then a new one emerging

This is the sprint after the long ultra-life- ironman

I've swam through coal of the soul

Ran up treacherous mountains of nails for the brain

I've shattered them all -

Bruises and all, cuts proudly worn

I've sledge-hammered open my darkest secret doors and lit a torch to what was inside and burnt them out-

and now it's time for the Mighty Phoenix of Relief to emerge...

I see it's beak

I see it's glimmering eyes 

I see the resplendent feathers of a fiery mohawk take shape

I'm Almost there

This is the final count-up

to the grand finale, the grand Adieu, the grand beginning of a chapter anew

This is the culmination, the "crunch time”, pressure cooker... I’m making diamonds under pressure, not dust

I'm making a treasure trove of diamonds, tiny to large

For this course taken has been a mighty challenge, but back down I did not

So I choose the divinity in the chaos, the life vest in the coals, the hammer for the nails, and the blowtorch for the doors

I can't wait to laugh and play in the grandness of it all... in the silliness of it all. in the insy-ness of it all…

Put the phoenix on my shoulder, we will spew out fire blasters and burn it all…

Almost there,

a camp fire awaits
