Whispering Wyrd

I am surrounded by beauty,
   mountains, forests, rivers, and streams.

 For so long I was unable to see
        the beauty all around me.
            Blinded by despair and subdued by chemicals.

But now clearheaded, I realize there is no time to waste
   mourning time lost.
     Now is a time for living, basking in this newfound clarity.

There is nothing but here and now,
    I know to spend each moment wisely.
  I am grateful for this clarity, this new chance at life.
