Wounded
Recovering
Fatigued
Patient and caretaker
Somehow the soul won't heal as quickly as one wishes
Is your heart beating differently?
Do you recognize yourself and what surrounds you?
How did things change so quickly?
Did you ignore the signs?
Could it be getting better meant so much more than you realized?
It takes a lot to feel better as you recover.
Recovery is for the patient as well as their loved ones and friends
Things are not quite as they once were  
Perhaps they will get better with the most patience one can muster

Differences are important and what makes life worth living
A cookie-cutter existence with everything and everyone the same besides being mundane and boring is useless
The balance was cut off by being defined as red or blue in our thinking
Change and progress moving forward is the very best direction we can provide ourselves with
Learn from History but leave it in the past with your memories
The word woke makes me what to croak
If you want to live in another time and place in the past good for you
What makes us better is moving in the right direction and that is forward

Nobody deserves to get sick
Wish people the very best
Even though some deserve the very worst
May you find something amazing every single day
Sometimes what rocks your world means very little to others
If you knew what I know
You take very little for granted

Seven months of fighting the good fight
Waiting to hear two magic words.
That isn't until Friday.
Side effects are still there, and fatigue still hangs around.
We want to get back to what was and put what is behind us.
Before the echoes start, we know there are follow-ups and check-ups
in the future
Until Friday, think of our once-a-day gratitude that we will get the news we have waited for.

They are playing games.
They are friends and foes.
Worth the time and effort.
Sometimes lead us to places we have never been before.
Shine the light on the darkest days when sunshine surrounds others.
They play and dance in my head until they are ready to become a poem.
They have awakened me at hours meant for sleep and other activities.
They are a joy and great company especially when you would rather not speak.
Yet, you will be heard.
Words.

Wish it was possible to gift wrap the person you seek.
The only thing to be sure of is that you know the person.
You need to stop looking and then you will find each other.
Saddens me to know that your puzzle is incomplete.
You should not define yourself in that way.
Your friends know you better and too well.
Your only is there.
Just search your heart and follow your path to glorious journeys.
You are that special.

I put the pen down.
I stay away from the computer keyboard.
I listen very carefully and observe the world around me and at large.
You take a breath and sip a beverage.
You remember people and places.
Maybe a word or phrase to revisit
Cherish these moments as they are far and few between.
