Coma

Prayerful prose-poem.

Did the query I sent distract you? You needn’t have answered then. Agony. You were driving -- and then you crashed. And now, the day we were to meet, you are lying in bad shape in a coma, too many miles away. I have not even seen your face. Nonetheless, our love burst in the virtual realm like a geyser of midnight suns. Gritty health hurdles were cleared. The treasured day of meeting was finally near. Then a cruel twist of time reared its ugly incident. How can I reach you, love, in your twilight state? I can only emanate healing heart will. You were already weakened by recent surgery. We had assumed the high mantle of romantic destiny. Untouchable grace, beauty, passion. One attention glitch ditched the dear date divine. I pray you awaken soon on the way to whole. Holy is the Love we found. Holy is your soul’s sojourn. Holy is the moment beckoning for greater gravitas in the hollow halls of evanescent human business. Martyr not to velocity’s random dangers, my sweet love. Heal back into tomorrow’s rising sun.

Author's Note

Pray for her recovery and the healing of all beings, physical and psychic.

"How can I reach you, love, in your twilight state?" Beautiful writing. This truly came from your heart. Lovely words, gorgeously strung together. My thoughts and prayers are with you and with the person that this was penned for. I hope that everything works out for the best.

Thanks so much!

I do not pray, but I do believe in quantum physics. all thoughts that are emanated work their intent. (That is a double edged sword). Like so many, love and passion become strong in this place of virtual reality. I feel for you...my thoughts are with you both.

You've written this beautifully Pax, this is so sad and heart wrenching ... I hope all is okay.

That was so beautiful thank you for sharing this piece. May I ask how things are now? This was beautifully well written, all emotions played out and the impact was unbelievable.

Every breath a prayer, words breathed to find the very air to bring health and healing to a loved one.

Heal back into tomorrow's rising sun

This is an exquisite line, I pray in the writing of this and the words released brought some peace, and healing followed. Emotionally written.

Thank you. Waking followed. Loving healing work-in-progress. . .

[SparrowSong]

Love certainly is a great healer...

Thank you, Cilla! The poem Stay follows this. She did wake from coma, & now has other issues, but is still improving. Thanks again for healing thoughts!

[John Alexander McFadyen]

This is one of the saddest pieces I have read on WC. Simply because it could have been any of us. How random the reaper. I am so, so sorry Pax. I do wish for her recovery for you both.

[Pax Analog]

Thank you, John! She's awake & improving. Appreciate the kind thoughts!

in this poem...you exquisitely written, your words captured one's soul crying. descriptive imagery conveying the angst, trying to capture hope in regards to your love one recovering. your words crying out, praying, that everything will be okay and that how desperate you are that you could take what happened to this person, yourself, take all this pain away, beautiful poem. i am truly sorry, sending positive energy... best wishes...thanks for sharing

Such a tender inspiration, Pax this is beautiful, i will pray for your friend, love the lines "We had assumed the high mantle of romantic destiny. Untouchable grace, beauty, passion. One attention glitch ditched the dear date divine. I pray you awaken soon on the way to whole. Holy is the Love we found. Holy is your soul’s sojourn. Holy is the moment beckoning for greater gravitas in the hollow halls of evanescent human business. Martyr not to velocity’s random dangers, my sweet love. Heal back into tomorrow’s rising sun." that's just so wonderful.
