Surprise Ride

In a rollercoaster of headaches. Which also gives and emotional ride to dark halls ways sometimes.

Now awake

on the other side

as the pain did subside,

giving me a lightly clouded day.

Shadows first,

that come before the pain,

then when all is done,

the shadow goes as clouds descend.

Happier times today

the veil of dark

had gone away.

Laying in wait looking for a place.

Night descends

with parting clouds.

Shadows moving back

into their comfortable place.

Pressure building

around my face.

Not to fear I say,

remembering my mistake yesterday.

I waste not any time

to attack the pain

while the control

is mine.

You are right.
"I waste not any time
to attack the pain
while the control
is mine."
The past is just education for us to do better. Thank you Willard for sharing the excellent poetry.

I have had many years dealing pain, and you don't want to get behind it. Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

Me too. I bury four brothers before my 30 years. Took war and Texas/California to make me okay. And you are welcome.

Sorry for your loss and glad you are on the up side now.

Thank you.

Very clever and relevant piece!
Life is like a roller-coaster ride. We feel the ups and downs as we go through. And yes, the dark past, the mistakes of yesterday are not some things to be afraid of, instead we look at them and get the lesson they give.

I like the font you use. Very neat. How do you call it?
Thank you for sharing this piece.

The reads for real and it helps with the control of the pain with limited drugs, but it still puts me in a very strange place, where I write. In the reality of this place, Now not to scare you away and not really to self promote, but in the last few days under the care of myself, I have written a great deal of ????? http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/wwells13/1686893/
