It's my life
[DEVIATION]
Thundering silence, waking moments,
with only my pulse muting life outside my mind.
Blurry, but slowly gaining sharpness, light and shadows separate.
One stray thread of light, unwelcome but treasured.
Old pains remind me another day has passed.
Solid footing, reassuring I will stand.
Thunder softens to bird's songs.
I rub my eyes. Draw deeply one breath.
