I knew surgery was eminent
It had to be done
Was a must
No doubt about it
Plans carefully made
I dreamed
Of all the inspiration
Coming my way
While convalescing along
Thses hot Fall days
I was wrong
The block I ran into
Was much too strong
Pain had a face
As I tried to walk
It even had a tatse
As my feet lower
In an attempt to stand
An over powering tatse
Of rust
Invaded my taste buds
thought dormant
The Face Of Pain
Was there too
A sterile white, popcorned ceiling
As my anesthesia wore
I became alive
In pain beyond description
I beggede to die
The cold blooded, sterile ceiling
Spins in an unfocused
Vision
It's been ten days
Since my surgery
Inspiration had been deleted
From my thoughts.

I'm so glad you can write about it William. You really express how deeply pain invades us. Having been in hospial 56 times, I know pain;-)and I don't like it, but I live with it daily!I hope your recovery is swift and sure. We miss you here!You're in my prayers!
I've spent a great deal of time in hospital, William and even the agony of it can be inspiring( easy for me to say now, lol ) You have written this poem from your heart and it speaks to many.
I hope you continue to make a good recovery and grace the den with more of your wonderful poetry soon.
