Riding the moonbeams...

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...
