Why

Oh why

Is it?

When I am at my lowest

Physically

It seems that my muses

Are

At their highest level

It seems that when strength evades me

My mind and the spiritual

Are at their

Apex

[a re-post of a poem i wrote about 10 years ago]

i now 
understand
it's only thru
pain
suffering
distress
that truth
and beauty 
can be seen
and 
understood
