100 DAYS OF POETRY: DAY 54 - Now That I Know

Now That I Know
By Stephen Martin

I used to throw the tarot wildly.
I used to smoke pot.
I used to smoke cigarettes.
I used to get caught.

Too much future is a chore.
Too much debauchery will rot.
Too much smoke fills the soul.
Too much high has a cost.

But I needed to know.
I needed to know.
I needed to know.

Now that I know, I can’t hide.
Now that I know, I must go.
Now that I know, I must dive.
Now that I know, I must show.

The love that I have is real.
The grace I’ve been given is true.
The hope that I cast is deliberate.
The one that I reach for is you.

Now that I know
That I know.
