A poem about a paradigm shift after a health crisis, a re-evaluation of what is really important in life.
Tom R.
Emergency over,
crisis resolved,
body mended in part.
The quiet time allows reflection,
a mirror held to my eyes to see
What is really important?
Career? Ego? Self?
Inventions of man,
all puffed up
but empty inside
The walls
come down
crushing the old
And allowing
The new to unfold
The new is actually
the old renewed
Love, family, friends,
relationships, compassion...
To care for others with golden rule
A new life unfolds
before these eyes,
new vision,
a fresh paradigm
to chart my fresh course for life
I've been blessed
with a chance
for new beginning,
laced with hope
and wonder anew.
