Billy Poem by Colin Ian Jeffery

Billy

Rating: 4.7


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.

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.

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

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.
