A poem by a good friend of mine. Worthy of submission to this thread.

Stoned by ZC.

I’m all here, but
In new places
Forget letting go
Of all doubts
I’ve become a
Different person

My inner enemy
Will tell people
That other man
Seems dim but
Has an amazing
Glow about him

Maybe it’s just
Newton’s first law
That you can’t be
Novelist and poet
But so much less
Is so much more
