Five years/I have been to..

“Here come the blue skies, Here comes springtime.When the rivers run high & the tears run dry.When everything that dies, Shall rise.”

The The, “Love is Stronger Than Death.”

I have been to Key West before.
And it damn near killed me again.
But this time it didn’t.
Instead, it made me stronger.

Five years at the end of March.
And I’ve never been or felt better.
Five years ago at the end of March,I was still falling and crashing, Tumbling further and further from home.

And now here it is, nearly five years later.
And now I have the strength,
And the objectivity,
And now I have the will and perspective to put it all down.

You can’t imagine how good that feels.
