Iris

Yoluma çıkanlardan biri de Iris. Unuttum hangi ara karşılaştık. Bir sabah mailimde bulduğum bu şiiri umudum oldu, tek bildiğim bu..........ve hiç görüşmesek de, beni anladığını, sevdiğini hissediyorum. Uzun aralıklarla yazılan mailler tam da gereken zamanda gelir ve gider..........

Burned

A fire

changed my life

changed my appearance

changed me

Badly burned

I remember the pain

a nightmare lived through

day after day, after day

Scars you can see

others are hidden

grafted skin covers me

facing life frightens me

Healing in low gear

time seems to stand still

family and friends hold me

when I want to give up

Somehow I slowly get well

it is a long process

often a good day has tears

grieving losses and yesterdays

 Looking within, I've found

strength and acceptance

courage and determination

to face my reality

 I have discovered

an inner spirit, perhaps always there

it offers me freedom

I share, I love.........I survive!!
