REMEDIESA Poem by Xavier Paolo Josh Mandreza
Give me a Chance to sing out my Days
Then by the Next Few Hours I shall be well again Counting over my Memories' Tune Which stood by me all Afternoon. Who am I to Teach what I feel When the very thing I felt threatens my own Serene Dominion? It is not for me to say whether this World comes and goes Or whether it shakes or flows But to the One who made it - the Almighty - well, All Praise and Glory to Him! Yet still I really wish to be well again Not from the Forty-Thousand Fevers Which I have just consumed - Oh no, The Emptiness...The Sullenness... The very Death which is constantly gnawing The very Heart of me, Chewing my own Sanity bit by bit And I couldn't wish for anything more Than for me to be well again More than those Pills I took, or the Shots I Endured, I would only Pray that God would heal me with His Hand To be well again. © 2013 Xavier Paolo Josh Mandreza |
