Please… My Soul hurts to see this again
She came seeking validation,
I yearned to give her comfort.
Her eyes exposed the fear and uncertainty underneath,
I could not in good faith tell her it would be alright.
Squelching her hope is the last thing I desire,
Who am I to say you will not live?
Yet, how many times have I seen this scene,
Same tragic story unfolding in front of me.
It never goes as they hope,
Their Gods never save them.
For every spontaneous remission,
Another hundred die unnecessarily.
My soul hurts to see this again.
Transformational Forces – A Doctor’s Prayer
May this illness become a blessing,
Providing guidance and reshaping your path.
Long silenced truths begin to speak again,
Where is this unexpected turn leading?
Following with both fear and faith,
Dying to the old self and birthing anew.
Evolution of the mind and
Renaissance of the soul.
Drawing out your inner strength,
Standing in newfound power and sovereignty.
Growing Towards Safety
Nervous systems grow towards safety
Like branches of a tree seeking the Sun.
If maturing in the shadows
The trunk may twist and contort.
Compensatory adaptations are developed
Oftentimes remaining long after the treat has gone.
Like trees seeking light, energy, and life
We are a neural network repository al all we have known.
