I hear your voice
And remember the birth,
Cluttered with wires and monitors
That measured your progress.
Somehow you survived,
A small, barking speck of life
Swaddled securely between conception
And what are the beginnings of living.
I never did explain
The pain that follows,
The love of life
And need for others...
When I read your words today,
I was wild with wonder:
"Insanity is now normalcy
You've reversed the axis of my world
Reality is no longer real
My mind can see the light
But my feet are stuck in the sand
Waiting in Vain
For a shot in the dark
To drift on a memory"
And stunned by the beauty
That sometimes follows pain.
