Revelations from a man in a coma

Today For the First Time I am Free

As I turn the key, I feel my journey has just begun...
Today for the first time I am free

I make my way pass the doors of the crowded room
I see your face… I notice your lips, your smile

As I make my way in your direction you smile, I
Take your arms reaching out to hold me, drawing you near

The room becomes silent as we lose ourselves,
over come with the emotion we feel inside

Today for the first time I am free

We pause, taking a moment to find our way
beyond the corners of the back room, then up the stairs

We meet again, this time your legs wrapped around my waist
As I gently hold your thighs in my arms, wanting you, needing you…

My heart compels me to think that I had a right to be here,
death was not my sentence.

A prisoner no more, locked within the walls of my soul
yelling, pleading, trying to get out!

Dare I question the man that I once was,
would be the man that I am before
but I am determined, and now I surrender-

“Father I stretch my hands to thee”
and then it happened,
this day I know…

Today for the first time I am free

A spiritual revelation and such an endearing, emotional write. The realization of being free for the first time is very powerful...

Be always safe,
Karen
