Revealed

It's a myth, you know,
the putative Big Book quote,
"More will be revealed."
Yet myth or not, the truth is manifest.
How often do you sit in the rooms
and hear what you need to hear,
the exact resolution to the problem
you've yet to identify or pondered
days, months, years?
Sometimes it's revealed by others,
often by your own words as you speak.
To befuddle your calculator
try to number the times you've read,
heard, dreamed, put together,
heard or seen the perfect parable
to reveal what you need to know.
My last time? Yesterday morning
when the reading described precisely
my anxiety and spoke to it, affirmed
the tough decision I'd made.
The Big Book doesn't need to say,
"More will be revealed."
It's just revealed.
revealed
