Unconditionally Ok Poem by Mathew Lewis

Overflowing with happiness and no reason why,
No feelings of pain, no needing to cry,
No hope gone sour no flouted dreams,
No striking regret, no silent screams.
Suddenly secure he strikes a road,
The baggage he carries; a lighter load
Than what he once had to bare,
Where he goes he doesn’t care.
Like single autumn leaves upon the breeze,
He moves forward with grace and ease,
Amber is warm and so is he,
Allowed to simply let it be
He walks a tightrope line unafraid,
For staying on is no longer the game.
Something more he found in that place,
Perhaps a name, perhaps a face,
But interwoven within his life,
Is a new need to end his strife.
And when one day he rests his head,
Be it on sullen earth or pretty bed,
He will be at one with soul and mind,
And in that warmth you will always find
That time and space have cared for him,
Have shut out the cold and let the warmth in.
For blessed is he who loves without hate,
Who willingly gives himself up to fate.
May the stars shine down upon that soul
For his mind is young but his love is old.
