Dark bittersweet pain swallows me, Filling the cracks of my soul, Swirling around inside an empty shell, A shell once full of life.
It makes me wonder, What value does my life hold, Death calls my name, Echoing all around the house.
Ready to embrace the pull of Death, As the warm arms hold me, Glimmering light shines from far away, Pleas of love fill my ears.
You hold me tightly, Begging me no to leave you, Voices sound muffled, As though I’m underwater.
I try to smile at you, To crack open my eyes, Words try to escape my lips, To let you know it’s ok.
My efforts fail me, Darkness grasping my soul again, Your tears still falling, For my slowly fading life.
Warm words of love reach me, Telling me you truly care, Your love for me becoming a thread, Guiding me back to you.
Light and warmth fill me, Finally my body responds to my will, Eyes slowly opening, My nightmare ends as I see you.

Religious Freedom Granted in 1978
What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978. The same year I got into recovery. That year I could smudge, go into the sweat lodge, attend full-moon ceremony, pipe ceremony, wiping of tears ceremony, and others.
