What’s that I feel, bodiless leg

Blackness all around, no, its gray

Whispers and tendrils fill the haze

Please help me out of here, I beg.

Help me, out of where, I wonder

It is so dark here, this small space

Hard to focus in this strange place

My thoughts, disjointed, need order

.

This place, its my mind, once so bright

What happened, why now so damn dim!

Gray turns bronze inside my head then

Fear to hope, sadness to delight

.

Sounds intrude and my world expands

For people near my bed are three

Though legs flail uncontrollably

I’m AWAKE, Mom’s holding my hands!
