Molten Lava Tears
Like glowing amber cinders or molten lava falling on bared skin,
tears fell from eyes red and swollen.
In bewilderment, I drifted inside nightmares horrible but real
as if space and time were no more.
Shaken to the very core, I languished stunned in total disbelief of
such utter betrayal and deceit. .
Myself just weeks out ICU and father only 3 days deceased, the bombs
fell like acid rain on my fragile ecosystem.
No time to mourn his passing, to recover from my own near disaster
the day heaven and earth collided.
Feeling charred and broken by life’s misfortunes, one turns the pages
forward and starts a new chapter on this book of life.
It’s said time will heal old wounds but this time these scars will
always remain.

Author notes
I don't often write of my real life, but this is a real as it gets. I used a the metphor of fragile ecosytem so I didn't have to say the team dotors didn't know why I was still alive, why it happened or if it would happen again. One begin to wonder about the meaning of life when your hold on it is called fragile by the professionals. I actually take it all in stride and have never lost my zeal for life, but it harder on my loved ones then myself. I don't say this for sympathy, only so people can understand why this was so hard to comprehend and how deep the meaning of this piece really is.

This seems to pack an emotional charge, Image, and it is apparent that the poem is very personal for you. Most of all, I like the never give up attitude conveyed, and know this attitude to be "inbred" in all of us.
Good to see you posting again!
peace
