By J. Michaels*

Strange wanderings in paradise

Fueled by confusion and fear

Looking to numb impending pain

Trying to forget the unforgettable

Hoping to forgive self-inflicted guilt

Seeking help and fearing it

A little old man assigned me

I can't stand to open the gate

To let him try his hand at healing

All that remorse and hate

Sleep, blessed sleep

Let me think no more

Forgive my reticence

To open that door
