Reawakening.

Dragged by a stretcher..
noises, blurry faces, astringents, plasters..

Craned my neck to see where I was headed...
Blood on my torso, toes upright..

A worried mother,
Sweat trickling her forehead..
Flashed before me,
My whole life..
Her loving care, the bliss..

Blinking away the blinding light,
I felt God within me ..
Pushing my pulse, pumping my heart..
Smiled to me and said,

you now have..
things to live for,
upon reawakening.

Support the loving mother, and
lay her to sleep at night...

wake up to her gentleness,
embrace her love and
live the life I give you,
upon reawakening...
