Sometimes I Forget.... Poem by Robin Pratt

........to breathe,
I lay in bed and Susie says
BREATHE
and sometimes she bumps me to make me start.
But why do I forget to breathe?
I just don't know for sure
But...
I get so tired with all the cancer stuff
that my battery is completely flat
and
I have no energy for anything not even a thought
But other times
so elsewhere
so detached from flesh
so part of the cosmic empty fullness
that I am no longer here or anywhere
but part of everywhere
Curious sensation at the moment
I bump out of it and my reality kicks in
BUT
it is a little worrying, sometimes
because I am not sure I am in charge
or in control
or on the verge of something good
or dreadful
or
sometime I forgot.......
