Just Beyond My Reach


It felt like I could touch it;
My future, being able to breathe…
In 10 minutes it was ripped from my grasp;
So hard for me to believe…

Years of being compliant
With appointments, treatments, tests
And dealing with the emotions
of my failing health….

Believing that there was a light
at the end of a long, dark road;
Looking towards this ray of hope,
to lighten this ominous load…

Decisions taken from me,
not a hint of impending doom…
Leaving my mind reeling,
Stumbling blinded in a darkened room…

Not sure how to face this;
It feels so out of control
But trying to look upwards
from the bottom of this deep, dark hole…
