I know how it feels for once to be scared
limbs rickety, stomach knotted, nostrils flared
Looking into a crystal ball of pure blackness
Perfecting each nightly prayer with practice
Waiting...waiting for "him" to send a miracle soon than later
My moods go up and down frequent as an elevator
They urge me to get some rest but I'm not able
I neuroticly tap my fingers buggin everyone at the table
When..I want to know when my loved one will come home?
Docs formulate a plot to lie cause the answer's unknown
The lines go haywire, going straight back to wavy
Invasion of the machines, set to save him, save me
Thoughts crossfire, paralyzing my head internally
Will relief come, or am I to suffer alone permanently?
I can't sleep, cause when I try I see the machines
They beep and haunt my dreams... then fade
Into a background to go along with my shrill screams
All these medical terms, to me are like chinese scripts
Can't comprehend them, just jibberish from doctors' lips
It's crazy, I know, but I've turned into a nervous wreck
Becoming repetitious like a casette stuck in a tape deck
and I'm bout to lose it any minute, better yet, any sec

Hey Joanna!!
Welcome Home!
Amazing write..felt as though I were caught up in a whirlwind.
When I think about it...I do know this feeling.
~Smiles & Hugs to you Sweetie~

~Somewhere in my heart I'm always
dancing with you in the summer rain~

Joanna,
Dear girl...these are hard times. You've come to the write(sic) place for sure. Peace & courage...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

(big hugggssssssss) Oh Joanna, I am so happy to see you again here, though I'm saddened to feel the tears in this poignant poem! (sad sigh) I hope everything is OK, dearest friend, I've missed you and hope soon the "terminator" comes and fights those machines away from your life and defends you from all of harms way, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Joanna, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story
