written 6/08 (while recuperating from multiple surgeries)
Inner turmoil, outer restraint
Pain burning at the seams
Looking for an escape
Nowhere to go
Struggling to tear me down
Never, never, never the victor will it be
Pushing back
Holding it at bay
Bearable now
Daylight turns to darkness
Night into day
Eyes peter open
Who will be in charge today
Inner turmoil, outer restraint
The cycle continues
Pain erupts liker a volcano
Heat radiating
Senses stimulated to the point of agony
Outer restraint struggling to overcome
Hope on the horizon
Glimpses of relief
Words of encouragement
Smiles from a friend
A simple touch that says so much
Calming peace floods the soul
Inner turmoil does not win
At least, not for today
