[hometext] => The celebration of defeating alcohol dependence. Dedicated to EmyStar who is both a great talent and gracious with comment and encouragement.
[bodytext] => I Took My Heavy Coat Off The Other Day I took my heavy coat off the other day. Not momentous I hear you say, But no, You’d be wrong. For me this was a remarkable occasion. I watched in silence as I shook it dry. Amazed and stunned I swear I could see every droplet of water fall, Tumbling in relative slow motion, Time almost suspended, Dropping to the floor, the light catching each and every pearl Twinkling in the light. The coat, you see, was my alcoholism. Alcohol dependent for so many years, But now, a chance. To answer every question, to find out what is out there. Clean, removed from the filth of loathsome stagnation and self-pity. I watch in real time. There is still water falling; Still the droplets tumble to the ground. I raise my hand to my face and catch the tears of joy in my hands. Yes, I took my heavy coat off the other day. I am happy for the first time in years.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
