Anjo de cadeira de rodas>>> See it. Believe it. Do it. Watch thousands of spinal cord injury videos at SPINALpedia.com

By personal experience, I didn't even know. Based on a memory and I fooled myself. Why should I follow a fake dream ? Was put in artificial coma for two weeks. I have changed a lot since the accident. Now I know what really matters. Things change so fast, life can suddenly turn. It's a fact I'm paralyzed from the hips down. A settlement without hatred and tears. The blood is still pulsing in my veins ... the heart is like a vibrating rose petal in the wind new goals to strive for the life was turned upside down - angels danced with pride 28.08.2019 Sun :) - A-L Andresen :) Copyright © All Rights Reserved

The insight you display in this piece of art is astounding. The realism is undeniable, even if it didn't happen to you, beautiful Sunshine, somewhere it happened to someone, and you have been channeled to pen their inspirational words, their emotions and remarkable fortitude. What a special lady you must be.

This is lovely Anne-Lise. I didn't read the rules correctly either. I am still happy her contest inspired me to write my Haibun as I am sure you are too. xxoo

Well-written haibun. A true situation for many, I'm sure, your fictional account brings a positive message of new hope and new goals. For a true haiku , you might want to re-word it in the present tense: I really like the thought. new goals to strive for / life turns upside down / angels dance with pride /

Glad to see that this poem is fiction for a moment you had me worried as I was reading it. Yes we do not appreciate good health when we have it until something happens and we realize how precious it is. love phyl

Angels that dance before God, never know what it is to sit my friend. Dance on... he watches closely, and cheers... so proud. Hugs and all the flowers that can be sent, virtually, by small birds that love music. Ann

Hi Ann-Lise, this wonderful write just goes to show us what is truly important, life and health. This piece is written from the heart. As I did read down each line, I took stock of what I found important, LIFE, HEALTH AND LOVE. This write is a fave Ann-Lise. I do hope that it does well in the contest. Have a wonderful Thursday. hugs....Mike. XX

This gets me thinking, Sunshine. The distance of death and life-changing events, so seemingly far, yet so realistically near. Should tragedy strike, we take a step back and adapt, A wonderful sentiment.
