Medical Diagnosis

This is especially for everyone grappling with a new medical diagnosis, and for all who love and care for them.

Medical Diagnosis




it's a new language
I'm learning to speak
these medical words
in this medical world
with these medical people

they stick in my throat
these unfamiliar terms
these foreign ideas
that I don't want to speak

these words should remain
locked in closets or shoved
deep under the bed
these awful words I dread

but speak them I must
and face them head on
there's no cure in hiding
wishing they were gone

no, I'm not fluent
in this new language
I retain only
what I need to know
and the words still stick

in my throat


A Prayer For The Living And The Dying

the living and the dying

This is for everyone, the living and the dying, the caregivers, the loved ones: may you all find comfort, peace, and solace.

even when the questions burn
even as the dreamers yearn

even when the nights are long
even when the fears are strong

even with the great unknown
even as our prayers are sown

even with our people crying
even with our loved ones dying

there is solace in the rising sun
another day will always come

our tears are carried to the One
who knows sorrow and has won
