There is that vast ocean
Of cancer, one that lies to be seen
And she stands at the bank
Eyeing the serenity at the other bank
Would she be able to swim through
To her loved ones? Could tales of others winning be true?
Should she stand rooted
Until back waves get her uprooted?
Or with victory in mind swim
And take the opportunity to dream?
This is the time to drink some cancer
Or be drunk by cancer
She looks at those who love her
Those who never saw her sail into the pain
Those whose buses of lives left without her
Think they have many times and memories to gain
With her
Yet she sees them waving from the other side
Not hearing their words travelling to her side
This is it
Life which cannot fit
Every juncture of her life, hurdles sit
Waiting for her without merit
She feels completely lost.

Great poem. It really resonates with me right now. This out break or bout of sickness that I have been going through. I assume the C in Mum C was Cecilia. I did not know that you have had cancer. Some times writing lets out the despair like nothing else will. Then you get up and dust yourself off and carry on with life.

The C stands for Cecilia, although poetry strips people naked, But Let me say, maybe I stepped into the shoe of a patient. Honey, nice of you to be here. Thanks for your kindness.
