Much of what is written here is poetry, but there are prose pieces interspersed, all written by Michael Wayne Holland. Also, there are blog entries from further back about living with post traumatic stress disorder. Full range of topics are fleshed, much based on life experiences, and much observed and imagined. I believe there is an internal truth to the writings, fiction or non-fiction.

Recovering
* This poem was entered into a contest where the theme was recovery, and you could use only 15 words. It was a challenge, but the good news is that I took home the gold trophy. Didn't see that coming. I am very happy!
Recovering
I survive,
alabaster thoughts
shimmering,
a rose petal
once devoured
by thorns,
sensing solid
perseverance.
