Catharsis - I was just sleeping

I wrote a poem based on a line from my Mom after her horrible accident last Spring on the day of my birth. I thought I would share in the spirit of sharing and catharsis. Enjoy.

I wasn't doing anything

I was just sleeping

I fell out of the sky as if my body had

A mind of its own

I wasn't doing anything

I was just sleeping

My neck snapped in a dream state

Rude awakening

I wasn't doing anything

I was just sleeping

I escaped with my life

I held on to my hope

My soul

My prayers

Be careful

Something can happen

When you are doing nothing

Like sleeping
