Shallow breathes
Shivers
Covers
A hand on my forehead
Something cool to sip
Something warm to sip
Another blanket
The blankets thrown
Twists, turns
Pillows on the floor
Sunshine filters in,
Then darkness.
Humming, trembling
Hot, then, cold
Then , hot again
Sunshine filters in,
Then darkness.
It all begins again.
But, one day,
A pat on the shoulder
One eye opens, then the other
Neither, burning up nor freezing cold
Sitting up
I am free
To think, to feel, to do, to love
My pain is gone
My mind is clear
Alive and grateful for this day

Dear Sheri ~ This is so uplifting. I always love a happy ending. You have lifted my spirits, after a day I let get away from me. Warmth and Love to you.
'Sitting up
I am free
To think, to feel, to do, to love,' This line is what it is ALL about.

A great gripping image for anyone who has ever been that sick, which I have been in past, and you capture the seemingly helplessness of it all and then the sudden release.
