Bedrest ~ #OpenLinkNight @dVersePoets
Sometimes, when we
insist on the drive
The push for more
Divine intervention is
necessary
Call it God
Or call it your gut
But when you get true
to self
You discover
Sometimes time is all
you really need.
Fear can creep up on
you in the wee hours
When you’re alone
With only shadows to
bear witness.
When reality suddenly
appears
Through a split-screen
And despite the
rolling waves of nausea
And the racing of the
mind that comes with NOT knowing
You see the you you
want to be
And know a change is
coming.
Isolation, solitude
The rare ability to
find the quiet
When wallpaper flowers
dance
And tears soak your
pillow
Clarity can occur
Wrapped within the
confines of madness
They don’t know
They never will
As they have no desire
for truth
Content in the comfort
of the lie
We all live with.
Ignorance is bliss
When you can make the
world all about you
Separate from the
whole it is
Denying your place
For the sake of the
person you profess to be
Some of us dance on
the lower rungs
Enjoying the frivolity
of the play
Exit stage left
While the chorus line
hides
This spotlight shines for you, you know
Center stage
Bright enough you need
not lend your gaze
To the suffering
audience
You refuse to let
leave.
The only encores
The ones bouncing off
the walls of your mind.

But seriously, "When reality suddenly appears
Through a split-screen" were lines that were truly AWESOME (among many others, I can assure you)..
Makes you want to pop a vein
For it won't go away
Letting your mind spin night and day
Hope all gets well soon
Seems everyone is out of tune
I can relate to the loneliness that sickness can bring. I've had to make friends with the shadows because for awhile they were all I had. Awesome write!
When you’re alone
With only shadows to bear witness. These lines struck me particularly, really it's truly amazing how if you got things going on inside, it's funny how easily you'll find a line or two, a stanza or simply a word, that will resonate and they may not always heal or assist you completely the way you'd hope they would, but they always remind you of the connection poets share and that you're not alone in whatever is going on in or outside. Strong piece. Get well.

Yep.
That is poetry my friend.
As usual, you leave me inspired to dig deep in my own writing.
Thank you!
But I'm mostly pretty-good now. :)
The wise ones say we have all we need, always.
And guess who is Next In Line for one of my fabulous Jannie-made "Awesome Blogger" friendship buttons?? YOU!!!!! Yours will be the next one to appear at the top of my sidebar. In the next day or 2. Thinking The Bluenose II might make a great button. And I hear it's being refurbished?
