Recovery

Time slips away In a brisk flow, Ooze of nine days Where writes don't show. A spinal pain From a wound old, Comes yet again As hurt unfolds. A pain so deep As backache sheers, To disturb sleep In moments clear. A fatal step In awkward turn, Can set pain trap In jerky churn. So much pain hurls In spinal cord, A stabbing curl In sure record. TCM touch Has brought healing, Body as such With heart willing. The cure is slow As trunk repairs, Day by day grow A health gains flair. Time wears a poise Where mind finds peace, By profound choice A new-found ease. Words now come round To tell most brief, Healing now grounds A silent grief. Pain travels well In body whole, For hurts can tell Of spacious soul. Here by this chair In posture firm, I sit with flair As words affirm.
