Marc O'Brien Poet Rhyme

I See You

I see you 
Eyes as soothing and true 
A calming voice 
Needed amongst the bustling noise 
I see you 
My life is not through 
I cannot move
But you are keeping me cool 
I see you 
I am scared here 
I need the comfort like a stuffed teddy bear 
I see you 
Earlier today I was a fool 
Trying something I was not supposed to do 
But you are here not on a break 
Tending to those who are starting to wake 
First thing one sees 
Coming out of the darkness minus the colorful dreams 
A bright light 
Due to the reality of sight 
Triggering an honest feeling to let out a scream 
If you know what I mean 
Then I see you 
And the calming image too 
Days later in my hospital bed 
Feeling grateful that I am not in the morgue, dead 
 I watch the Hudson River boats 
Knowing this situation was not my fault 
Getting ready to go home 
To recuperate from these broken bones 
I see you 
After that serious boo boo 
I was alone 
And you had that healing tone 
I see you 
And I am back healthy studying at school

Marc O'Brien April 6, 2020 at 7:58 PM My poem I See You did have some actual references about the times that I spent in ICU way back in the 1970's as a pediatric patient. I hope it will calm some who are facing those three letters due to coronavirus. I am safe in Indialantic, Florida but reside in Las Vegas. Thanks for reading
