Walls so familiar
Known by touch
As they prevent a fall
Become prison like
When confined for length of time…
There is safety here
Albeit superficial
As it cannot prevent dizziness
The hand holds are a comfort
To catch and to prevent harm…
Eyes unfocused
Through a thick veil of fog
I shuffle to my chair
Sunshine brightens the room…
The warmth of the rays
Reaching through the window
Allow my mind’s eye
To envision the shore…
I hear the water
In the fast flowing stream
Rushing past, racing ahead
Free and untethered…
Wave upon wave has hit
Driving my backwards
The sun offers hope
Its warmth reassurance
As I slowly move ahead…
A knock on the door
The bright smile of a friend
The exchange of hugs
To sit and talk
The walls dissolve…
No longer a prison
The walls provide safety
To allow much needed rest
To help increase strength
Albeit slowly…
Mindset is recharged
Embracing the colors
The small buds on the trees
The retreating snow
A body at peace…
