The importance of moving
Cannot be understated
The body not the soul,
One’s frame sans the stuff.
Blood flows, lymph drains
Breath deepens, waste can leave
If only we help it with
A little muscle contraction against gravity.
[So easy for her to say to me today!]
I cried in fear
As physical therapy began
I’d been here before
And knew about the score.
But wretched seizures
Met me by each session’s end
My body erased
The good that had ensued.
It could be different
Now that the beast is tamed
Perhaps give way to healing
And actually doing my home exercises?
Ah what a delight that will be
I do see it coming out there
Can almost reach it, so sweet
This is the beginning of healing!
Just had to mourn
Seven years lost since
The time I moved with ease
When no fear waited in every corner.
[Sigh.]
Today marked a new beginning
This time appears to be for real
Thank you my Jesus, for carrying me through
Time to give in to freedom as the healing is now here!
