just thoughts, had a lot of surgeries!

A Force of Forever What was there about this dream after this last long surgery on a starlight misty night, I heard music for a moment twinkling like chimes and asian bells then there was a quiet, an instant of nature’s lights all vanished to sudden nothingness I recalled memories of Einstein’s belief that energy does not vanish instead collects then reforms our universe constantly creating anew I saw no human images, no friends, no family no white nor dark winged angels in this starry night then all the pain of the cosmos seemed to disappear what flowed was without a sense of thee or me but an immense creative force moving forward into the unknown genesis of eternity...

Hello Linda, A very interesting write. I went through some very trying times in the hospital during 2012, and can certainly relate with what you wrote. I believe that the "creative force" you speak of does, indeed, exist. A very interesting Blank Verse. Best Wishes, Gary

Thank you and hope you are feeling better. Been trying to put in some easy poetry (for Me) about health issues given that is a part of our life. Starting to get a litte removed from it as worse of it seems over for now. Seems the closer I got to end of life the more I felt that Force. Take care and thanks for comments.
