It was a crisp fall morning A full moon lit up the earth, the morning dew glistening brightly as the new day began The sun started to peak out Not a cloud in sight, just the blue haze covering the sky like a watercolor canvas I sit by the window, hot tea in my hand, taking in the beauty around me.... Then the dream ended... The nurse walked into the room ready to take vitals, yet again... I was brought back to the reality of my life, as I sit lifelessly in the wheelchair Never shall I walk the beautiful earth again, the earth I took for granted for so many years How I long for my body back, to stand, walk, run, love... I had it all, but didn't know it... *In one second my life changed forever One horrible night Nothing will ever be the same because of that one horrible night.
