Poem Title:
Poem
I lay here lost inside my mind Trapped within my shell Hearing all the world around Can't talk or even yell My wife tells me she loves me She strokes me with her hand I feel her tears roll down my cheek She tries to understand My mother and my father both Stand beside my bed Sorrow fills their mind and heart And makes them bow their head Immobilized, I'm set adrift Upon a sea of dreams Connected by a slew of wires Attached to some machines If only I could blink an eye To show that I'm alive Or squeeze a hand that's holding mine In hopes that I'll survive I'm reaching out. I'm trying to shout But muscles won't obey I lay here like the bed I'm in As moments drift away Somewhere in the darkness I can hear the spoken words "Come my son. It's time to go We'll soar just like the birds" But how can I just fly away And leave my life behind There's so much more I need to do So much I need to find My soul is in a quandry With turmoil in my brain Inferno rages through me Like a plague I can't explain Suddenly I hear the words Like powder in the mist "I think that we should let him go You know we've done our best" A plug is pulled. A flash of light Then everything is clear I'm standing in the room among The people I endear They all gather round me now In silence and in prayer I look upon their sorrow And I see how much they care I wish that I could hug them With a loving warm embrace And use my thumb to wipe the tears From each and every face But that will never, ever be Until their time has come And we can stand together In the glory of the sun Rockman :-)
