I feel no motivation due to the ravages of time
Some days the thoughts of nothingness seem utterly sublime 
But then there are some moments, so transient and so few
When I yearn for the tomorrow to seek a different view 
I’ve squandered many years giving into my addictions
And in the end I find I’m a man of few convictions 
Alcohol and drugs offered no real world solution 
They were just a passport toward continuing devolution 
Life got too dramatic with emotions overwrought 
Running always offered me a clarity of thought 
I find that writing verses helps me temporarily 
To free the mind of madness and accentuate serenity 
It’s not a panacea for everything that I will face 
But it offers me a gateway to some momentary grace
As long as I can run and write, I think I’ll be ecstatic 
I look forward to tomorrow and the ever present magic
