Ode on a Cannabis Gummy

When nightly sorrows make their claim

to thoughts and feelings, doubt and pain,

I search for solace free

from what’s assailing me.

I search the world through hidden places,

high and low my dark heart races,

for pleasures glowing bright

to light my shadowed night.

I search through closet’s skeletons,

searching for a sacred sin,

an outstretched helping hand

to help me softly land,

and here is where I find my peace,

forbidden pleasures never cease;

my mind finds empty space

where sorrows are erased.

A gummy fraught with fruit and earth

assails my senses, folly’s birth,

with cannabis bestowed,

and pleasure’s madness grows.

With clarity I know for sure

within an hour I’ll adore

my senses duly filled

with glowing splendor spilled.

Your medicinal joys release

my mind from pain’s calloused disease

and fill my body bright

with incandescent light

as feelings, thoughts, and spirit’s flight

send my soul to lofty heights;

I’ve found my next great love,

a plant-based treasure trove.

An epic for the coming days,

a future full of unknown haze,

your benefits I’ll state,

to monument your traits.

I close my eyes and celebrate

as waves of life inebriate;

my mind a journey starts,

creative bouts of art,

and this will future readers see

and know your secrets told by me

to formally compile

all marijuana’s wiles,

so now, complete, it has been done

to be consumed by everyone,

and cannabis will reign

to ease life’s many pains.
