    About this ebook

    A Journey in Poetry depicts a journey in the recovery process. I am taking you through a journey of good and bad times, reflected in thoughts and feelings; places where we all have been at different times. The book is about life; struggles which we all have; about answers which we all find.

    Many people have inspired me to write this book and I thank each and every one of you. I hope that, while you are reading this book you have time to reflect on the passages, to feel the words, to love the stories. I hope it touches your life.

      Exhaling

      Dec 7, 2021

      Around me are fifty or so men, in whose company I will sit and be silent for ten days. I eye them discreetly, wondering who among them is going through a crisis. Who, like me, has a family. Who’s single, who’s been dumped, who’s poor or unhappy. Who’

      A Journey in Poetry - Pam Ragsdale

      ALL ALONE

      There is a tree standing out

                Out in a field

      It seems so all alone

             Barren with but

             A single branch

      Withering away into nothing

      But there is still a chance

             That man can save it

      And it will grow to be ever so

             Strong and beautiful

             Once again

      MY JOURNEY

      I never knew that my safe haven would

             Become a bigger refuge for me

      When I entered the third floor

             A whole new world opened up

      I was scared

             All those faces

             All those rooms

             Hustle and bustle

             Schedules and outings

      But no chaos was found

      Calmness enveloped all around

      Even a lounge to rest in

             You got to be kidding

             You will let me rest

             Now you really got my interest up

      Now I have to choose groups

             Hmmm a big decision

             For an isolated

             Confused person like me

      As the day went by

             Consumers said hi

             And a closeness started

             To develop with some

             Something I never thought possible

             As I was a loner

      A change came over me

             The camouflage clothing began

                    To disappear

             And old levis replaced them

             What no cammies
