The Gift of Gait

I left the doctors office in a daze. His words would not compute. Cancer soon to ravish me- Diagnosis Absolute. Utterly beside myself, My mind so ill at ease, I looked out my bedroom window, and gazed upon the trees- The beauty of their natural gait made me drop down on my knees. I sat before Him humble. Not a sentence dare I speak. I had to slow my mind down and try my hardest not to weep. I sat there with my eyes shut, through the darkness did I gaze, suddenly a pebbled path, I approached a big blue gate. I pushed it open and stepped inside, my senses keen, just mesmerized! A Throne before me came to life- It emphasized, and empathized. In stillness faintly I felt a voice, Not audible, ; Within- “Dear Child you never walk alone.. Your soul will not grow dim. Your purpose unfulfilled you see You’ve words to write, for them to read- Concepts the masses yet conceive. The pen from you- the Word from Me. So fret not with your news received, for I've made a decision. Until My Will has come to pass Your cancers in remission.” Just then the wind it sucked me back, through the gate I hurled, my mind intact. My eyes they opened, I was in my room Quite overwhelmed- my mind consumed- With an understanding Id never known. With eyes wide open, my mind was blown...as I stood, my legs could barely stand. I looked down, The Pen was in my hand

A lot of deep soul searching going on here. Your words are simple yet so powerful. And your emotion and pain wrap themselves around each word and we are left in awe and sympathetic to your internal struggles.
