beyond the gateway drug

state of zen, open body

now

in the lush sunshine haze

keeping my balance on the

ledge

edge of doubt, surety

usually I lift up and

fly away

or close up and sink within

but I’m beyond the gateway

drug now

this high of addiction, thrills

stoned blind blithe and

steady

here I am, here I am, here

in realms of ecstasy, here

where questions

need not be asked

(My altered image)
