Biographic
Opening the book, some of the pages are blank
Others only have one word or one sentence...
And yet the day arrives after sleep, not always restful
Time lost can never be regained...and yet
There is a constant - All the prayers that stream in
From those closest to the strangers far away...
And the dust jacket on the book, once an abstract -
Is becoming clearer - and the new face looks back
A stranger that is sometimes recognizable to the soul
Being built by newly formed puzzle pieces securely bound
Publishing a new life takes courage, confidence falters
When the well of ink seems to run dry - love refills it.
Memoirs - they are perhaps overrated when all you can do
Is move forward from whatever starting line one’s brain allows...
Concentrating on the posters on the wall, photos of family
And friends, names of those inspired to join this journey...
Emotions overload and overwhelm, filling up the empty spaces -
Looking again at the book, relaxing as the pages fill...

Process notes: This is another verse written for K.S. Who after being in a coma for two months, and in a fast forward rehab mode for two more months, may get to go home soon. Recovery isn't always easy. And while most days are filled with love and smiles - sometimes, like everyone - doubt creeps in. But with all the positive energy around this ‘miracle’ it is difficult to keep a good person down.

Thanks for your kind words. I do review all comments before posting - so if your comment disappears on you, don't fret. I will post honorable comments as soon as I am able.
I do not post or return visits to "Anonymous Comments." Adding your link to an unrelated site will not help. Most everything that ends up in spam will not be posted, especially that which makes no sense to the post.
Any 'opinions' that are not introduced, explained and are unrelated to my post will not be honored. Having a 'legitimate' blog will not help - you will be marked as spam. You will have no voice here. Thank you.

Jules, this may be about a specific individual, but what you have written is true for anyone who chooses to be aware and to change. It isn't easy and there are always doubts, but I find that those pages with only one word, or phrase, are often the most meaningful,
