The path is sunny and bright.
A more beautiful life couldn’t have been had.
We walk along, enjoying every breath, every minute.
Suddenly
The ground beneath seems to give way.
Everything seems to be slipping away.
Flung into an endless abyss.
Of darkness
And despair.
Hope and a frantic foothold.
I’m confident I can pull ourselves out.
But no.
The foothold gives way
We are flung further into the depths.
Clutching at straws,
Laboured breaths,
The incessant beeps
Flashing lights of the ICU monitors
Faith and Hope
Darkness and Despair
And then
It is all over.
I am flung out
Alone
The sunlight hurts my eyes
I grope around
Shards of my broken heart all around.
The silence is deafening.
The road ahead is in darkness.
What was and Has been.
What is…What will be….
Bruised and Broken
I need to stand tall
The last words
The confidence and strength
Reposed in me
I need to carry on
A legacy, A dream.
The strength envelops me
Albeit from another Realm.
