Never speaks
Trapped within damaged brain
Body twisted, limbs trembling
Sitting in hospital yard
Humming tunes without melody.
Bright soul standing tall
Articulate mind intact
Singing melodious songs of love
Only God and he can hear.
A very touching and heartfelt poem. Billy still manages to love life even after overcoming many obstacles. Good.
Thank you, Colin. My love just passed from ALS (Motor Neuron disease) , and with Billy, you capture her bright soul articulate with mind intact, though speechless, as well; and it helped me remember her smile, which she kept to the very end. It can amaze us the way some have to leave this world, but, more amazing is the courage some keep when faced with the end.
How touchy this poem is! Hope against hope, that's all. Nice poem sir! !
The soul is immortal and once we are free from earthly shell, we can sing nonstop. A poet has both the privelege and the pleasure to do this while still alive, in his own ll
Heartfelt piece with a tourch of beauty for the soul. Besutiful write keep them coming
Very well done and thoughtfully expressed. One has to ponder the life of people that suffer brain trauma, yet they are just as alive and human as all people are and they still have consciousness.
