What now for the warriors brave
The fighting all said and done?
There’ll be no more bloodied hands
No more battles to be won
The fire is going out in my eyes
Fingertips full of flames
I return my atoms to the universe
To recycle my remains
I’ll rest in peace, return to the stars
Unable to know the rewards
But if there’s a light worth fighting for
That’s what I’ll head towards

Today I’m feeling:
Good, waking up before my alarm again though I’m in a happy enough frame of mind.
I hope to get into my room and play more guitar again today. I feel like watching less videos now, which, in my mind, is a positive thing.

Today I’m grateful for:
All the folks who have been leaving comments on some of my poetry. I still have to catch up on lots of reading and make some comments myself, as I know how inspiring they can make people feel.
The best thing about today was:
I fleshed out some more poems and ideas whilst drinking coffee and after getting back home, read through the Cliff Notes for Childhood’s End and discovered a cool website for generating ideas for poems and also a lot of word games to inspire.
In the afternoon, I enjoyed banging away on the guitar again, with about 30 minutes on Yousician and another 30 minutes playing along to familiar songs.
As I was in my room I also added some older blog entries, listened to music and did a little bit more writing.
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
I went up to the hospital today to get some more medicine from the psych but I also remembered that Amy had mentioned today was a holiday and so I wasn’t sure if anyone would be working and sure enough when I got there only the ER was still open.
Never mind. I can go back again tomorrow morning and make an appointment for another day this week when he’s there.
Something I learned today?
