Constance La France Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

In memory of a friend who died of cancer,

I tried to imagine what it felt like for her.

Will miss you forever and ever sweet Saba !

''Held By Fragile Threads''

                          I am drifting,
             held in this earthly realm by fragile threads;
        it feels like a weird surreal dream,
      until daggers of pain pierce me.
        Is that me screaming? I sound so far away,
  I know all I need to do is pull on the threads,
  so when the next flood of pain comes I let go;
     and I am floating free at last,
                        from all earthly bounds.
             In silence and peace I am swirling,
         higher and higher in this strange haze;
      until I have left the realm of earth,
         and all my pain is gone.

Beryl Edmonds December 11, 2020 at 4:41 PM It’s hard to watch a loved one suffering in pain and we don’t really know what they’re going through. I have a sister who’s undergoing cancer treatment and she’s in a lot of pain, it’s so sad. You've described how it must be considerably well Constance. Best wishes Belle Constance La France December 12, 2020 at 12:23 PM Belle, there is nothing more heartbreaking than watching someone die and there is nothing that can be done, I am so sorry about your sister, hopefully she beats the cancer, appreciate your visit _Constance
