This is one I wrote after the glycerol rhizotomy.
I went back to work fulltime June 2nd, 2005.
Life happens
sometimes when we least expect it
twists and turns
and there's no going back
only forward - pedal hard, pedal fast
pedal backwards, pedal slow
move the clock, forwards,
backwards, stop it
but you keep dealing the deck
that you've been dealt
waves of emotion crash over your head
sometimes drowning
but you alone
wear the life jacket
and bob along
because you refuse to be pulled under
the suction is immense
the sound is thunderous
but on you struggle
because far in the distance
you hear
the strains of a life
you left behind
Some days those beaming faces
shine brightly,
brighter than any full moon in the darkest sky those are the moments to savour and rejoice in change is constant and out of control Inner acceptance has been the key I awake each morning to a new day full of possibilities ...pain ....no pain .....Joy!
Hours, minutes, seconds
precious -so precious
I cannot imagine not having them
It has taken time to heal,
everyone's prayers soothed the turbulent waters As I approach the
calm.....wondering ...
Can I ?
Knowing ....
I can.
