I was done…
Or so I thought, it was just too much, I no longer
Wanted to stay, but to enter a place where I
Would not think the thoughts that plagued
Me night and day…
And then I awoke to the sound
Of the ambulance, the swift movement of tires
Pounding the pavement, to faces hovering above
Me calling my name, then resisting their words
That faintly echoed, I fell into unconsciousness…
~~~
I had entered a place of
Stillness
Placed in a resting place
Beneath white lilies
And a green mossy
Stone
My body once shrouded
In garments
Of darkness
Now covered in white
Satin
My eyes no longer
Saddened
Upon my chest my arms
Rest
No longer beating my
Breast
With the tilt of my head to
The side
All thoughts are emptied
Now where
Will the antagonists
Reside?
No longer will I entertain
The sufferings
That caused me such
Pain
But in this state of peace
I cannot linger
I am awakened to the
Call, it is not time for me to go…
