A Poem

J. Marshall

Consider it an unofficial intro to writings that will come later

breaking the mind down like chopping logs for firewood outback in some familiar story somewhere

expanding consciousness is the name of the game

if there’s anything in the world better that exists I know nothing of it

it’s sleeplessness, it’s pain, it’s frustration, it’s all part of the ever-complex game

going inside for the war is more frightening than a match with primetime Tyson

but a level of bliss that’s incomprehensible in scope

near suffocating in the effect upon the person that goes within is the jewel that’s offered

easy is not the name of the game

sculpting yourself into a more fully formed, holistic, loving human being always has been

that’s my challenge today

that’s my challenge in the afternoon

that’s my challenge in the night

that’s my whole world
