AFFLICTION There is much I want to say More I want to do But my hands don’t slide across the keys As they used to do And I tire with the words as I speak Too weak to listen Too deep in my mortality As the minutes inflict Their cruel determination. And I wait. There is much we want to say More we want to do We who share a similar agony.. We know only what we f eel Fear what we can’t see. And we wait. I wrap myself in memory Pray to Hope. Bend to my reality. At war with affliction Turning me to stone Scratching at my soul. Languishing to be free. I wait.
