Determination©1999 by Genea Parker

Oh maudlin morning!
Don't weep for me!
In my weakness, darkest fears found me,
Then sleep, like a white winter panel
Silently shrouded my world.

In my dream, I was a runner,
Flannel jacket zipped tight to keep out the crisp cold.
I ran with strong swift strides,
Racing time uphill.

The sound of rain mocked me,
And I awakened,
Still locked in,
With unmoving limbs.

Don't weep for me, dawn.
I will walk again!

before anyone asks...NO, this is not about me. :-)
