Deep and wide,
The body they engulf.
How can I fight them,
When they are ghastly at bay.
Fragility in health,
Mounting pressures,
Adding to stress.
Can none other be the
Bearer of bad news.
I see a glimmer of hope,
A shimmering light,
To a grim tale’s delight,
As I seek wisdom,
Peace and comfort.
My inner will is losing sight,
It takes all strength within me,
To overcome and persevere.
I feel I am losing ground,
For mortal laws have prevailed.
Have I quicken my death,
Or am I just delaying.
Is this a fool’s woes,
A sinister respect of mortality,
Or a mere mention therein.

Thanks Rob. I actually felt well enough to go to physical therapy yesterday. It’s been a while (3 months). There are some more health issues but I won’t update until next week. Having a high degree of anxiety right now.
