What the hell just happened
Suddenly I’m down
Realization sets in
I’m static on the ground.
Agony in movement
I inhale into the deep
Serenity in stillness
A limb lays distorted, motionless
A soloist surrenders
Warm sun is soothing,
Tussock sways in the breeze,
Birdsong lost in big skies,
Timeless on the mountain.
I introspect,
I reflect.
Whisked off in a mechanical bird,
I breathe deeply once again.
Dropped in supportive arms
I accept
I allow.
A surgery to mend,
Incisions and insertions made.
A metal Rod I carry now.
Alchemy to heal.
I dissolve into a drowsy state,
I contemplate
A new endurance challenge awaits.
Support from near and far,
Tears well in my eyes,
Gratitude fills my heart.
Overwhelmed and humbled,
I surrender to what is.
An opportunity arisen,
The reason I am here.
In Presence, I grow stronger
In calmness, I remember.
I listen with intent,
This is how it was meant.
