Back
from surgery
the place to be is home
where comfort reigns
in family and familiarity
home to who I was
and who I still want to be
my former self
reclaiming normalcy
it seems like an eternity
time slips away in small dark rooms
that hold only strangers and
the slow ticks of a clock
hours blend into one endless night
of doubt and discouragement
yet the light at the end
is the coming home
where all of me is greeted by
who I was before
and those held dear
provide comfort and recovery
for my scarred body and soul
safe now in my surroundings
happy to be home.
