The Awakening ~*Marge Tindal*~ IV intrusion morphine infusion and the gray light danced all around all around and the gray light danced all around peer of doctor with watchful eye into sleep of gone bye-bye wake up wake up don't die don't die IV intrusion gives the morphed illusion of the gray light dancing 'round nursed sleight of hand in useless 'wake up' command seeps into the sheet giving no flight to feet still the gray light danced all around all around still the gray light danced all around Suddenly wings of pink fluttered dawn chased the gray light out to the lawn bringing a song to the wakening ear of the loved ones waiting waiting right here the gray light was gone yes, the gray light was gone lovely pink light danced in it's place in it's place the pink light glowed on this face and the gray light danced no more no more and the gray light danced no more~ I must thank my dear, dear friend, Doreen Peri, who wrote - quote:Blessings to you, Doreen ... I'm trying~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Marge, I think of you so often and was thinking of you and your granddaughters when I wrote the Caribou poem. I know that you would love Denali Park and the wildflowers. I saw so many animals yesterday - and you were on my mind. I often find myself looking at nature and thinking of you. May you win the battle over the "gray light" and return to your family and your home soon. With love, Alison |

Anesthetics make me so sick. I could feel your pulling out of this one. Soon they will be over and you will be yourself again. That is my prayer. Love, Joyce |

Marge, I have goosebumps reading this poem, because I have felt that gray light of morphine and the sliding from consciouness recently, too. I am sorry for the struggle with illness, but I know there will always be the pink light of new dawnings to greet you, for you carry that glow within. Love holds you, and what a lovely brush of wings! It was a joy to read this. |
