I bouldered the ancient rocks of Grayson
In June, 2020
Bouldered, I say!!
Maybe I'll be able to do it again?
And if not, I did it then
I hiked four miles upon my beloved Roan
In August, 2020
Four miles, I say!!
Maybe I'll be able to do it again?
And if not, I did it then
I biked seventeen miles up a mountain
In September, 2020
Up a mountain, I say!!
Maybe I'll be able to do it again?
And if not, I did it then
Since a few weeks ago
I've been able to walk almost normally
Up the stairs in our home
In this May, 2021
Will it continue?
Cognitive, physical, neurological fatigue
Have eased these past three weeks
It's nice to be able to think
Beyond the confines of selfcare
Will it continue?
I observe
I wait
I continue
Maybe, just maybe
I can bid farewell to steroid epidurals
I've felt the puncture into my lumbar spine
Some 34 times, thus far
Maybe. just maybe
I can bid adieu to steroid trigger points
Nine jabs each time into my cervical spine
Some 45 rounds, thus far
And then wave goodbye to
Daily prednisone
Little white pills I swallow down
Some 3500 days' worth, thus far
Wow...Could it be?Possible?
I will continue
I will wait
I will observe
I will wait
I will continue
Thank you my body
Thank you my brain
Thank you my heart
Thank you my entire being
For being my friend
For doing that which was needed
So we could survive
So we can now soar
Riding the moonbeams
With wings of the Luna moth...
Riding the rainbow
With wings of the butterfly...
