Hospital pt 2

Chased down, A kaleidoscopic dreamscape surrounds,

the sounds, buzzing, beeping, distract my thinking,

music, like no other, like nothing ive heard, a true hit,

like a mix, a blend, of the best bands ive seen,

Voices whisper, yet im alone, the words hold meanings, feelings,

if only i could hear their significance,

tone changes, sharply, brakes, a fear drops, a dread,

grips tight as i hold my bed,

The drip in my arm, feeding my vision, or keeping me grounded,

whilst all is flying around me,

see faces from the past, distant memories long lost, they watch over me,

keeping company, holding the fear at bay, keeping my dread away.

Body wants to stop, brain wont let it,

a choice is made, to fight through this, climb from the abyss, to soar above,

grip on to life, to share my love.

 The beauty of all art is that it is never truelly finished, each of my pieces is still in the rough drafts stage of its life, and over time they will nearly all be played around with rewritten, tidied up, given more depth etc, for example i have been reading this piece over and over and can see a lot wrong with the last chunk of it, it is missing a real ending, a good bit of depth and meaning, in time i will find the right way to make this work.


so here is revision 2 (well 2 and all the scribbled out, crumpled up pieces of paper that went into each draft before draft 1 lol) , still work in progress, but already seeing some improvements...

Chased down, a kaleidoscopic dreamscape surrounds,

the sounds, buzzing, beeping, distract my thinking,

their constant rhythm like a heart beating,

as i feel its finally beat me, im retreating.

 

music, like no other, like nothing ive ever heard, a true hit,

like a mix, a blend, of the best bands ive seen,

voices whisper, yet im alone, the words hold meaning, feelings,

if only i could glean their significance.

 

Tone changes, sharply, brakes, a fear drops, my body quakes,

A dread grips tight as i hold my bed,

the drip in my arm, feeding my visions? or keeping me grounded?

whilst all is flying, floating around me,

 

see faces from my past, distant memories, watching over me,

keeping company, holding my fear at bay, keeping the dread away,

my body aches to stop, my mind wont let it,

the grains of sand drip, time slips and passes,

 

A flood of tears as i hear, deaths hand had touched mine,

it was near, my fear drove me on,

i was too young, not ready for death, nor my last breath,

a long battle ahead, to fight to make right, to get strong,

 

The nurse gave comfort, words of encouragement,

my family brought love and warmth, the souls nourishment,

the journey had begun, it would be long,

but i vow to fight on, one step at a time.

 
Thanks for reading.
