Passing Time

The two o’clock hour
is gone from me now.
Each day’s passage
is a path from night into night.

A deep relinquishing breath
has evaporated.
Memories of relief cannot be fathomed.
Pain has taken control of my duration.

Prayers are offered up
on my behalf, but the decision
was made in a secret time
that I cannot comprehend.

I plead with God to keep
the ravages of my body
from entering
the sanity of my mind.

Janet,

Nearly missed this one. OUCH is all I can say--can relate. :( Exquisitely painful to read...especially the last stanza.

(((gentle hugs))) and much love, Karla. :(

Janet I'm saddened to hear this! I'll be in extra prayer!

You are in my thoughts.

Love,

Speaks volumes of the pain many, including you, endure. I so hope that one day there will be joy back in your poetic expressions even though I know how much of your life is wrapped around just getting through another day. Well written description of life within the confines of pain. Hugs my friend......
