A few days...

My new favourite poet is Tandisa Nkonyeni:

Madness

Madness does not come roaring and shouting at us to join it.
Rather it offers a gentle hand,
A kind smile filled with understanding never before encountered.
And leads us down a silent and gentle road.

Madness offers no fear, no pain, no confusion.
It is a friend in a lonely and isolated life.
It offers peace when once there was screaming pain.
Madness is sanity in a world gone insane.
