welcome to my world
by gary Trudel




Welcome to my world.

Welcome to my thoughts.

Welcome to my visions.

So begins Welcome to my world, poems that navigate the author’s search for “the stars, the moon, the ultimate tune,” alongside his road to healing from satanic abuse and drug addiction. Whilst some poems speak of suffering, others are full of joy—celebrating survival, the act of writing, and the sacred connection to Mother Earth, the Four Directions, and to the Creator. An act of prayer and acceptance, they are also an invitation to find humor and enjoy the present moment.

Watching the junkie make the play

moving and grooving

the shuck and jive

live a life of constant strife.

Thinking, downtown style.

No desire for the game

doing it clean and serene.

Still thinking, downtown style

moving and grooving

living and loving

thinking, downtown style

freedom, downtown style

living it clean and serene

all the way, downtown style.
