Description
Wellness Works in Glendale has been helping us Veterans, me personally, with PTSD, and Depression difficulties for about 3 years. i have been getting free therapy for years, because i am disabled and on skid row in L.A.
my pledge to them, i hope can become our pledge to them, a world of advocates helping Veterans, and i know that this treatment, this kind of center can help the root difficulties of our problems, and if, say a million advocates helped, there would be great expansions - to where, i believe thousands or more Veterans will be able to be helped in a wholesome stressless environment.
so up to a million dollars or proceeds from this pic, and the other pics taken at Wellness works will be donated to the center to help Veterans.
and now for my poem that is the collaborative of this
Angels, they are here among us, with ghosts present, and ghosts past
Angels in dresses, jeans and slacks not slacking to have our backs
Angels voice to the choice of the breath of life depleting slender sinuous shadows that call us to the depths of entertaining angst for the present tense
so do they listen with no interruption
so do they hear in the sounds of no corruption
so do they give their silence in no needed judgement
but for a path of resilience to take the hauntings of experience ours and not our own
in this, the presence of saints in the sins of the world, some too also know as desire and pleasure
roads of aspiration are followed
and new ones made
and the hands that held us to the other helping hands in "my hand, your hand and a helping hand" remains the strength in strain of letting go of built up pain on the asphalt grains and drainage ditches to the swallow of pitch where there is no more room for the glitches in the fix it rooms
broom time, so sweep, clean time so neat, weep time for keeps - of the keepsake of what the heart does daily bake
